Oberlin South Woods - Ramsy Right of Way
On 5 May 2012,the Firelands Land Conservancy,the Oberlin Chapter of the Western Reserve Land Conservancy, hosted a hike of the Ramsy Right of Way. Many birds and aquatic creatures were heard, seen, and identified. All in attendance had a wonderful time learning about the creatures we heard and saw that morning. Many thanks and appreciation to those who shared knowledge, technology, and snacks!
A few of the birds we heard and witnessed were:
located west of western most parking lot of
Oberlin Recreation Complex
225 West Hamilton Road
Oberlin, Ohio 44074
Right of way adjacent to several vernal ponds of varying size and woodland edge.
After the hike was over, I went back to take photographs and to enjoy the sights and sounds of nature a bit longer.
