Mark your calendars and reserve a room for Warblers and Wildflowers at Shawnee State Park: April 26-28, 2024

It’s time again to plan for next Spring’s Warblers & Wildflowers at Shawnee State Park. Get a jump on spring migration along with the opportunity to see and hear nesting species that don’t migrate further north. And for the botanists in the group, there’s lots of native flora not seen many other places in Ohio.

You can reserve your room or cabin now at discounted prices. Call Shawnee Lodge & Conference Center at 740-858-6621 and tell them you’re reserving a room/cabin for the event with Ohio Ornithological Society on the dates indicated for the discount.

Tentative Schedule

The tentative schedule will start Friday evening with happy hour, a buffet dinner, a short introduction to the Shawnee area, an evening speaker (TBD) and off in search seeking to hear the Chuck-will’s-widows.

Saturday morning will feature a wide variety of bird/botany walks with experienced leaders. Saturday evening, after a buffet dinner, will feature a keynote speaker (TBD) and again go in search seeking to hear Chuck-will-widows. In addition, we will be setting up mothing sheets near the cabins for both nights! It looks to be a great event that you won’t want to miss.

Watch the OOS website, Facebook, your email and see the Chip Notes in mid-January for more information and a link to register for the event. We are looking forward to having a full event this year and hope you will join us for a great weekend!
