What to Look For
Most of the park is well manicured but has an overstory of large oak trees. Good numbers of songbirds can be found in these trees in migration. As Lakeview Park is right on Lake Erie, interesting and unexpected species can turn up in the park during migratory periods, such as American Woodcock. The best birding area is the beach that runs the length of the park. Large numbers of gulls and terns often loaf here, and good numbers of waterfowl can be seen in offshore waters, especially in late fall and early winter. |

Noteworthy Rarities
Ohio’s last record of Black-backed Woodpecker came from Lakeview Park, on September 27, 1984. Purple Sandpiper has been found on the rocky offshore jetties, and all three scoter species are occasionally seen in late fall and early winter. |
