The Biggest Week is a 10-day birding festival held each May in NW Ohio, the Warbler Capital of the World! Hosted by Black Swamp Bird Observatory.
Oak Harbor, Ohio 43449
Joined September 2011
Migration is highly variable, and you never know what birds we'll see from year-to-year. We found 243 species in 10 days, including three notable rarities! The reasons for that are 1) birding here is aMAYzing!; and 2) our guides are SUPER AMAZING! #BirdsRule #BiggestWeek2023

The parking lot on the east side of Ottawa NWR near the pin posted previously is extremely full. Please park at the main visitors center if you plan on joining the search for the Kirtland’s to reduce backtracking. Take the walking trails behind the center for the fastest route
