Yesterday’s outing in Schenley Park was cold, gray and windy — only 34 degrees! —  but 20 people came out anyway.  Unfortunately, the weather made it the most “bird-less” walk I’ve ever led in April.

We saw about 16 species, all of them residents even though migrating birds have been in Schenley Park for weeks.

Our Best Bird was a peregrine falcon perched on the Cathedral of Learning, so far away it looked like a dot through our binoculars.

We were cold but we have hope.  Hot weather is coming on Wednesday — 80 degrees!
