Bird Watching

Spot Birds in Hocking Hills, Ohio

Whether you’re a long-time bird watcher or a beginner, our guests regard Glenlaurel as a premier spot to bird watch; discovering an abundance of feathered friends. With over 50 species sighted on-premises, including two bald eagles, you can spend the entire day watching the birds on Glenlaurel’s Estate.

The depth of our gorge and the profusion of ferns & wildflowers make this an ideal spot to see all the varieties you don’t normally see elsewhere. Gather your binoculars, camera, and field guide for a day far from ordinary.

The Hocking Valley Birding Trail organization consists of a group of birders, biologists, and naturalists who promote conservation so future generations may enjoy Ohio’s Hocking Valley wildlife. Each year, International Migratory Bird Day is held to celebrate the return of migratory birds with hikes and special programs.

Lake Logan State Park has also been known as a bird watcher’s paradise. From eagles, hawks, and blue herons, it’s different each day. Paddle along in a kayak or canoe for an up-close view.

If you enjoy bird watching, Ohio is the place to venture. Glenlaurel, which resides in Hocking Hills, is full of birds and other wildlife. Be sure to check out the other activities near the property.
