Directions to Birding Locations

This section is a must for both novice and advanced birders. These are the best birding hotspots in Southwestern Pennsylvania. Novice birds may use these write-ups to identify birds in the area while advanced birders may use this to locate a specific species. Hopefully, when this section is complete, there will be maps, habitats, checklists and even noteworthy plants for each birding hotspot.

These excerpts are written by members of the club and it is by no means exhaustive or complete. If you would like to contribute and are familiar with a birding hotspot, please send us a write-up. Your contribution will be greatly appreciated and acknowledged.
