Mid August Shore Bird outing

We will again try for a shore bird outing in mid August. Possible sites for shore birds are Shenango Lake, Independence Marsh. Since the water level and shore bird activity are variable, the trip date and location will be determined in order to have the best opportunity of viewing shore birds. Call Steve Thomas 412-782-4696 or Bob Machesney 412-366-7869 the first week of August to be placed on the call-back list.

In collaboration with the Fern Hollow Nature Center at Sewickley Heights Borough Park, these bird walks will be lead by Bob VanNewkirk (412-366-1694 or email at van126@comcast.net). The walks will begin at 8:00 AM starting from the upper parking lot. Directions to the park can be found on the 3RBC's website (http://www.3rbc.org). Birders should be prepared for muddy trails. It is also advisable to bring water and a lunch. We will bird the park and along Little Sewickley Creek Road. Warblers, flycatchers, thrushes, and vireos will be our target species.
