On World Migratory Bird Day, May 18, the Geauga Park District is hosting a unique event called “bird sit” at Troy Wetlands. This park, the newest addition to the district, is an ideal location for bird lovers to record all the birds they see and hear while sitting in one spot for a period of time. Naturalist Linda Gilbert will be present to help tally spring bird life.
Troy Wetlands is home to a diverse habitat that attracts a variety of birds. Its boardwalks and viewing platform offer excellent vantage points for bird watching. Interested participants, school-aged and older, should dress for the weather and bring a chair, binoculars, camera, and other essentials for comfort. No registration is required for this event. Troy Wetlands is located at 18725 Claridon-Troy Road in Troy Township.
Before attending, it is recommended to check the park district’s website for updates in case of inclement weather that may lead to event cancellation. Signage will be posted along the route to the observation deck for easy navigation.
