Subject: [Ohio-birds] Snowy Owl and Bird Alerts question (and jewel of a birding spot outside Ann Arbor, Michigan)



Hello All

I would love to see a Snowy Owl and was wondering if anyone has seen one in Ohio yet this year or can recommend spots to see them? i live in Shaker Heights so I am assuming Lake Erie is popular at times?



Another naive question is that I am looking to get bird alerts and wondering where I would go to sign up for such alerts?



Finally, I was up in Ann Arbor for my son's hockey tournament and came across an amazing birding spot and a real jewel if you can get up there in the dead of winter. It is called Vreeland Road in Superior Township East of Ann Arbor. The real jewels I saw for my first time there were Short Eared Owl, Snow Bunting, and Lapland Longspur
