Naturalist James Anderson spotted a Barred Owl while scouting for spring wildflowers in a Marion County park!

These owls call “Who cooks for you?” and can be active during the day. You never know what you’ll see when you #GoOutAndExploreYourMarionCountyParks! #Nature #Owls

Look what Dan Sheridan spotted on the Marion Tallgrass Trail — a Painted Turtle!
If you find turtles in parks or the wild, admire them but leave them be.
It’s illegal in Ohio to keep them without a permit — and they play a big role in nature!

Bullfrogs are back!
American bullfrogs are emerging from hibernation in Marion County—listen for their deep “jug-o-rum” calls in wetlands and ponds.
Thanks to Dan Hudnell for this great pic from the Marion Tallgrass Trail!

An Unforgettable Encounter on the Trail!

During her hike along the Marion Tallgrass Trail, Abbey Cline experienced a breathtaking moment—a majestic Bald Eagle soared right over her!
