West Geauga Commons is in the south-central part of the IBA (near Fairmont Blvd and Rt. 306). IT’S ALL ABOUT EDGE! A fall migrant hotspot, the Commons has abundant ‘edge’ habitat which attracts Warblers, Vireos, Woodpeckers, Cuckoos, Wrens and occasionally shorebirds and ducks during September. We will cover less than ¾ mile on groomed, gravel paths during this two hour walk. Binoculars, hat and comfortable walking shoes suggested. Leader: Matt Valencic

This Bird Walk is presented in conjunction with the Chagrin River Bird Quest.
