For some time we wanted to catch the bird migration in Northern USA and this year we finally decided to attend the “Biggest Week in American Birding”, a festival near Toledo. By the time we decide we had only limited options to attend so we picked whatever we could and decided we will explore on our own otherwise. Overall the visit what a success with us adding five new species of warblers to our life list, something not easy to do in the USA for us anymore.

After registering we visit the famous Magee Marsh Boardwalk full of birders and warblers and we explore it thoroughly adding quite a few warblers to our list - Looking for Woodcocks in the evening
In the evening we go to the public woodcock place which is quite popular with organized tours also and manage to see one after some waiting
