Spring is here. Let’s get outdoors!
Join me for a bird & nature walk in Schenley Park on Sunday, April 29, 8a – 10a. (Note the early start! 8:00am)
Meet me at the Schenley Park Cafe and Visitor Center for this joint outing with the Three Rivers Birding Club.
New birds come to town every day in late April so there will be plenty to see. Have you seen your first-of-year gray catbird yet? I expect to find one on this outing. (Catbirds, don’t let me down!)
Dress for the weather and wear comfortable walking shoes. Don’t forget your binoculars!

Hope to see you there!

I have not seen a cat bird but yesterday, April 22, around 5 pm, I saw a Ruby-crowned kinglet. I had never seen that bird before that I know of. I was startled by the red flash of color on its little gray head. He was flitting around some hedges, chipping and singing. It took a while because most photos or descriptions include an olive green color but this guy was all gray. It was so exciting to ID a bird new to me! (I didn’t have a camera with me. Darn!)
