Tips for birding Fairport Nursery Road
Drive into downtown Fairport Harbor via Fairport Nursery Road. There are several pull-offs along the roadway. Small flocks of Horned Lark, Snow Buntings, and Lapland Longspur congregate in the gravel on the side of the road. Flushed by cars, they’ll fly into the grass or perch on the green chain-link fence. Snowy Owls are known to perch on the telephone poles here but also appear on the grassy hillsides. A pair of Common Ravens recently made Lake County their home and the unkindness, now totaling five, often flies around above this grassland area.

This is a good place to check in the summer for grassland birds. Grasshopper and Savannah Sparrows, Bobolinks, Dickcissels, and Eastern Meadowlarks have been found here.
