At last!
Final results of the Second Pennsylvania Breeding Bird Atlas

Join Bob Mulvihill, Project Coordinator and Co-editor of the Second Pennsylvania Breeding Bird Atlas, on June 5, 2013 as he describes the process of writing, editing, and publishing the Second Atlas of Breeding Birds in Pennsylvania. He'll highlight some of the important findings of the study, including notable positive and negative trends in our breeding bird populations, and he'll help us imagine the Third Pennsylvania Breeding Bird Atlas, just eleven years away!

The meeting will be held at the Phipps Garden Center, 1059 Shady Avenue in Shadyside. Doors will open at 6:30 PM for socializing, a business meeting will begin at 7:30, followed immediately by the program. The usual snacks will be available. Ample parking is available along Beechwood Boulevard.
