Blendon Woods Metro Park is located in the northeast corner of Columbus off of Rte 161 & I 270. Take the Little Turtle Way exit. Below is a list of some of the Birds seen lately A good plan for Birding Blendon Woods is to start in the Nature Center parking lot around 7:45 am. After about an hour, the activity slows down a bit. Next go to the Goldenrod Trail. After that go to the Lake Trail & Thoreau Lake. Then I would go to the Woodland Trails (Hickory Ridge, Brookside, & Ripple Rock) The best time Birding is between 7:45 am to 9:45 am.
