What is an IBA?
IBA's (Important Bird Areas) are tracts of land
that Ohio Audubon has determined are crucial to the existence of birds
and other wildlife because of their habitat. One of them is the East
Branch of the Rocky River, which extends from Hinckley to North Olmsted,
and north to the mouth of the river in Lake Erie. This watershed
contains valuable forests and wetlands, such as the Rocky River
Reservation, Mill Stream Run, Strongsville Wildlife Area, and Hinckley
Reservation.
