Tips for birding Mirror Lake and Browning Amphitheatre
Located in what used to be known as the Mirror Lake Hollow, Mirror Lake used to be fed by a spring (now memorialized with a fountain at the east end of the lake). The area typically attracts and hold migrants during migration, despite many changes to this area over the past century and frequent attention from campus landscapers. Birders new to the area should pay particular attention to the diversity of trees and ground cover around Mirror Lake, and the wooded hillside just east of the Browning Amphitheater (at the west end of the open grassy area known as the South Oval). Head north from here to bird the many trees in "the oval" (also an eBird hotspot). From Paul Hurtado

About Mirror Lake

Mirror Lake Hollow includes Browning Amphitheatre, Bucket and Dipper Rock, the Faculty Club, and Pomerene Hall - all campus landmarks in their own right. From Ohio State University Campus Map
