IT'S HERE! IT'S HERE!!!

We're thrilled to share the 2026 Biggest Week Visitors' Guide (BWVG) with a gorgeous Cape May Warbler cover photo by Black Swamp Bird Observatory's own Tyler Ficker!

As you'll discover, the guide has a lot of information about the festival, but it also offers regional information for visitors, and perhaps most importantly, many important conservation messages.

You'll also find in this year's guide:
🐦 How to Get Started in Birding
🐦 Timing of Spring & Fall Migration
🐦 Warbler ID
🐦 Visiting Oak Harbor, Ohio: The Warbler Capital of the World
🐦 Free Birding Opportunities
🐦 And so much more!

20,000 copies of this award-winning magazine are on their way to newsstands across northwest Ohio as a FREE publication. Pick up a copy at Black Swamp Bird Observatory, Maumee Bay State Park Lodge, Magee Marsh Wildlife Area, Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge - and at business, libraries, and metroparks all over NW Ohio!

And if you can't wait to pick up the print copy, here's a link to the digital edition:

The BWVG guide reaches a lot of new people and helps to generate more interest in birding and more support for conservation. (Can you tell we're pretty proud of this thing?!?!)

Our sincere thanks to the outstanding team at The Press Newspapers, our partners in producing this wonderful magazine.
