At this location, the Ohio-West Virginia state line is near the Ohio side of the river. Birds seen on the other side of the Ohio River are in West Virginia.
Ohio eBird reviewers ask that birders keep precise state and county lists. When you are at a location where you see birds across a state or county line, we ask that you keep two incomplete birding lists, one for each side of the border.
When keeping separate checklists for different sides of a border, please follow these rules:
This hotspot is a roughly 500-yard section of County Road 124 that runs along the Ohio River from the town of Hockingport until it dead ends to the northeast. There is no parking spot but it is usually safe enough to park along the side, as it serves only two residences. This spot is good for migratory waterfowl, and the marshy outlet on the side of the road opposite the river provides a wetland habitat for herons and passerines. The untended roadside also provides brushy habitat.
