CANCELED due to lots of rain in the forecast as of 4:30pm Sat.

Spring migration has been slow in Pittsburgh but things will improve in the week ahead so let’s get outdoors.

Join me at the Schenley Park Visitors Center for a bird & nature walk on Sunday 30 April, 8:30a – 10:30a.

Because of this month’s super-hot weather most trees will be in Full Leaf and the early flowers will have gone to seed but there’s still more to see. The second wave of migrating birds will be coming through and the wood thrushes (Hylocichla mustelina) will have come home.

We’ll peek through the leaves to look for birds. Will we see tuliptree flowers?

Will the mayapples be blooming? Or forming fruit?

Meet me at the Visitors Center at 8:30am. Dress for the weather and wear comfortable walking shoes. Don’t forget your binoculars!

I’ll be there rain or shine, but not in downpours or thunder. Check the Events page before you come in case of a cancellation.

Hope to see you there.

p.s. If the birding is good I’ll give an option to continue until 11a.
