Road Scholar 2026

So far this year, we have hosted three weeks of Road Scholar programs on South Bass Island and there are two more weeks to go! Every year birders come to the islands from all over the U.S. to enjoy spring & fall migration. With over 125 participants, we have the opportunity to see over 150 species across South Bass Island, Middle Bass Island, and Gibraltar Island. Enjoy various excursions across the Lake Erie Islands and visit the bird banding station with Our featured expert Tom Bartlett.
