Toledo sits where the Maumee River meets Lake Erie, at the edge of the great marshes of the western basin. The Maumee draws one of the biggest walleye runs in the country each spring, bald eagles nest through the marshes, and the surrounding wildlife areas fill with migrating warblers and shorebirds. In town it is fox squirrels, cardinals, and cottontails, and the lake keeps ducks offshore all winter.
