Tips for birding Holden Arboretum
From Lake Erie Birding Trail website From Ohio Ornithological Society website

The most well-known birding location in Kirtland is the 3800 acre Holden Arboretum.This area has a list of 221 species which is impressive for an inland location in Ohio. Check the newly restored Corning Lake for waterfowl and bitterns. The canopy walk and emergent tower offer a very different perspective on birds from in and above the trees and great views of the surrounding forest. With a parking permit and directions available at the visitor center, you can walk along a vacated road, which follows the East Branch of the Chagrin River to find Louisiana Waterthrush and Cerulean Warblers. The rugged and challenging 3-mile hike along the Pierson’s Creek and Old Valley Trail will provide beautiful, pristine, forest landscapes and spring wildflowers. Nesting Dark-eyed Juncos, Hooded Warblers, and possible Hermit Thrush are highlights of this natural area. If you don’t have the time for the hike, just check the gardens and ponds and you will find a good variety. The Rhododendron garden blooms in conjunction with peak spring migration and provides a visual feast. Holden began providing Bluebird nest boxes in the 1950s and the numbers of Eastern Bluebirds found in the central gardens area is sure to impress as well.
