The Biggest Week takes place in Northwest Ohio aka “The Warbler Capital of the World.” It is headquartered at Maumee Bay Lodge & Conference Center and also features events and walks at Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge and the Black Swamp Bird Observatory in Magee Marsh. If you want to see great birds, meet great people and take a break from warbler-neck – this is the place to be! Oh, did I mention that last year they saw THREE Kirtlands Warblers?? I missed them, but am hoping to find them in May!
