23 September 2025
Cooler climate forward! Let’s get outdoor.
Be a part of me for a chicken & nature stroll in Schenley Park on Sunday, 28 September 2025, 8:30a – 10:30a(*). We’ll meet at Bartlett Shelter on Bartlett Avenue.
Forbes and Fifth Avenues might be closed for the Pittsburgh Nice Race so plan your route accordingly. See street closure data beneath.
I count on to see blue jays, chipmunks and porcelainberry fruit. Additionally …
I’m hoping for a number of species from BirdCast’s late September Anticipated Migrant Listing for Allegheny County:
- Jap Wooden-Pewee
- Swainson’s Thrush
- Blackburnian Warbler
- Black-throated Inexperienced Warbler
- Least Flycatcher
- Philadelphia Vireo
- Chestnut-sided Warbler
- Rose-breasted Grosbeak
- Inexperienced Heron
- Ovenbird
- Grey-cheeked Thrush
- American Redstart
- Black-throated Blue Warbler
- Nashville Warbler
Costume for the climate and put on comfy strolling sneakers. Convey binoculars and subject guides when you’ve got them. NOTE that re-construction of the Serpentine Highway retaining wall has modified the panorama and compelled a restricted path closure. If the group is just not too giant we’ll stroll the creek mattress path.
Go to my Occasions web page earlier than you are available case of adjustments or cancellations.
(*) If the birding is immediately good at 10:30am we’ll have the choice to proceed to 11a.
