Birdwatchers are in for a treat as the Geauga Park District hosts a “bird sit” event on World Migratory Bird Day, May 18. The event will take place at Troy Wetlands, where participants can record all the birds they see and hear. The observation deck at Troy Wetlands is the perfect location to sit and observe the spring bird life with Naturalist Linda Gilbert.
Troy Wetlands currently holds the record for the highest number of bird species sighted in Geauga County, with 123 species, surpassing LaDue Reservoir. The park’s diverse habitats make it an ideal location for bird watching, and participants should come prepared with appropriate clothing, a chair, binoculars, a camera, and other comfort items. No registration is required for this event, and attendees can check the park district’s website for any weather-related updates.
The event will take place at 18725 Claridon-Troy Road in Troy Township, and signs will be posted to guide participants to the observation deck. This is an excellent opportunity for nature lovers to come together and appreciate the beauty of birds during their migration season.
