Spring Migration

More than two dozen species of warblers and a good variety of song birds can be seen at the BFEC and along the Kokosing Gap Trail. These migrants begin appearing mid-late April and can be seen through May. Bring your binoculars, a bird guide, and enjoy the trails.

Keep an eye out for the Barred Owl that has been seen frequenting the forest along the Kokosing Gap Trail, West of the Environmental Center.

Learn more about bluebirds or see photos of them at their next boxes. Build a bluebird house.
