Warblers and Wildflowers

Late spring, also known as the season of Warblers and Wildflowers, has finally arrived. The sounds of the woods are shifting to the emphatic chirps and calls of neotropical migrants and the ground is blanketed in a rainbow of color. Even between raindrops, it is hard not to get excited about the many surprises that might be awaiting you just a short hike away!

If flowers are your thing, it isn't too late to join our Spring Native Wildflower Challenge. There are still wildflowers to be found in all of our parks and fun prizes for completion, check the challenge out here: http://medinacountyparks.com/images/Wildflower-Challenge-bro-and-guide-2018-web.pdf .

And if warblers are what get you out of bed at 5:00 AM on a Saturday morning, we still have Audubon Spring Bird Hikes at River Styx Park, Bird Banding at Wolf Creek Environmental Center, and a family-friendly program all about warblers inside at Susan Hambley Nature Center. Information on all of these programs, and more, can be found at: http://medinacountyparks.com/index.php/programs/calendar-events#year=2018&month=5&day=6&view=month .

Regardless of how you happen upon these brilliant signs of spring, we hope that you'll continue to share your sightings with us right here at the Medina County Biodiversity Project!

Happy Birding and Flower-Finding!
