Bird watchers are shoulder to shoulder on the boardwalk at Magee Marsh Wildlife Area as they train their binoculars on trees while trying to spot songbirds. With the spring migration in full swing, the 2,000-acre site 25 miles east of Toledo along Lake Erie is a hot spot for birds and birders alike. The boardwalk is open year-round from dawn to dusk.
