  • It’s time to hunt morel mushrooms.
  • Listen for drumming grouse or gobbling turkeys.
  • Warbler migration is in full swing. Magee Marsh along Lake Erie is a fun place to watch the migration, but you can also enjoy the migration close to home.
  • Nightjars are serenading the night with their songs. We enjoy both the Whip-poor-wills and the Chuck-wills-widows here at Nature Friend.
  • Put out grape jelly, and you might attract an oriole. Ours even attracted a bear!
  • Largemouth bass spawn when the water temperature reaches 55°-65°F.
