Customer Reviews

Good reference either in or travelling to Ohio

Tom Thomson has extensive knowledge about birding in Ohio and has led many briding trips in the Buckeye state. I have attended trips with Tom. His knowledged has been expertly shared in this reference. These comments are not gratuitous, they are sincere.

Great directions, poor maps.

I've owned this book for a number of years, and have found it really helpful for finding prime birding locations in Ohio. It could stand a little updating, & the maps are not very useful, but the detailed directions of how to get to a location are really useful, when coupled with a DeLorme map for the state. Thomson's division of the state is also rather odd. There are locations that seem to be arbitrarily grouped into a geographic region that it doesn't seem appropriate to be in.Overall, it is very useful if you're going to be doing birding in the state and are either a new Ohio birder, or coming from out-of-state to do some birding.
