Pennsylvania Birds magazine: See what you've been missing! By Geoff Malosh, Editor of Pennsylvania Birds. I am pleased to announce that we will now be publishing previews of the current issue of Pennsylvania Birds online, which will consist of the cover,table of contents, and a featured article. Now anyone who does not subscribe or perhaps does not even know about PSO can actually see a little bit of what they've been missing, and hopefully be encouraged to join PSO!

Notice: Dues Increase! Effective immediately, individual membership dues will increase from $12 to $15 and family membership dues will increase from $15 to $20. All other categories will remain the same. We regret the increase, but higher costs for postage, our meeting hall, printing and bringing in nationally recognized speakers compel this action.

This year's trip to Magee Marsh, Ohio is over. 55 members of the Three Rivers Birding Club along with family and friends made the journey this year and spent anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks walking the boardwalk and roaming Northwest Ohio in search of Spring migrants. That means that we had 55 observers in the field taking pictures, compiling bird lists and experiencing incredible things. Do you have pictures you would like to share? Do you have a story or anecdote you would like to tell us? Check out the pictures and articles. Click here to find out how you can have your contributions added to our Outings Revisited webpage.
