Join Epic Nature Tours for an amazing trip to Northern Ohio to observe the incredible warbler migration this May. Thousands of warblers stop in the wetlands and forests along the southern shores of the Great Lakes to rest and feed before crossing the Lakes to Canada for the breeding season. This trip will visit the world famous Magee Marsh, Maumee State Forest, Oak Openings Preserve, Metzger Marsh Wildlife Area, Maumee Bay State Park, and Erie Marsh Preserve – and if we don’t find a Kirtland’s warbler in any of these areas, we will make a day trip to Michigan to find them there.
