All, I will be visiting Columbus for a week starting on the 15th for a softball tournament. I will have some birding time throughout the week, and am looking for recommendations of good birding areas close to Columbus. I have noted the Metro Park system, and will definately be checking some of them out. In particular, I would like to find Black-billed Cuckoo. I will be going to Marietta on Monday to visit my grandparent's graves there, so any location along the way would work as well.
