Let’s get outdoors!
Join me on a bird and nature walk in Schenley Park on Sunday September 24, 2017 — 8:30am – 10:30am.
Meet me at Schenley Park Cafe and Visitor Center where Panther Hollow Road meets Schenley Drive.
We’ll visit Phipps Run and Panther Hollow Lake, looking for fall flowers and migrating birds. I’m sure we’ll see goldenrod though I won’t know what species it is. (Goldenrods are hard to identify!) Perhaps we’ll see migrating monarch butterflies because the weather has been so warm.
Dress for the weather and wear comfortable walking shoes. Bring binoculars and field guides if you have them.
Before you come, visit the Events page in case there are changes or cancellations. The outing will be canceled if there’s lightning (unlikely this Sunday but you never know).
NOTE! The Great Race will run on Forbes and Fifth Avenue this Sunday. Approach Schenley Park from the Boulevard of the Allies and you’ll avoid the detours. Here’s the road closure list and timing.
on Sunday I saw several monarch caterpillars on milkweed. Wonder if they will have time to pupate and get going before cold weather sets in?
There have been a couple dozen Monarch caterpillars on my milkweed the past 5 days. So happy to see them! They are a few days later in showing up as compared to past years. But not nearly as many as in the past. I found one chrysalis above the garage door, I hope I get to see it open.
