November 2005 Outings

Saturday, November 5  — Yellow Creek State Park

This will be a joint outing with the Todd Bird Club. Meet Margaret Higbee (724-354-3493) at the park office at 8 AM. The office is on Route 259 just off Route 422 east of Indiana. Allow an hour and 15 minutes to drive from Pittsburgh. The park contains many different habitats and a large lake that attracts a wide variety of species. Some of the waterfowl numbers have been spectacular in the past, and rarities have shown up fairly regularly.

Sunday, November 13 — Pymatuning State Park

Join Bob VanNewkirk (412-366-1694) in another search for waterbirds and this fine area’s other specialties, which should include arrivals of some later migrants that were not present for Bob’s outing two weeks previously. Meet at 9 AM at the Wildlife Center. See October 29 for directions.

Wednesday, November 16  — Lake Arthur

Fred and Carol McCullough (412-921-6873) will lead us on this traditional waterfowl outing at Moraine State Park. Meet at 8 AM in the Moraine State Park Day Use Area (South Shore) in the first parking lot on the right. See October 23 for directions.
