Time to go Birding!

With spring providing glimpses of what’s to come (it was 65 degrees and sunny yesterday!), it’s time to get out the walking shoes, guidebook and binoculars and hit the birding hot spots around the area.

Tomorrow we’ll be heading over to the Pine Creek Gorge (Pennsylvania’s own Grand Canyon) at Darling Run to check out the Bald Eagle nest across the creek and see what water fowl might have arrived. I’m sure it will be cool in the recesses of the gorge. The sun has a difficult time penetrating down into the north-south cleft between the hills. Last year, we got out in the field for the first time on March 26 (50 degrees but with some ice still on Hammond Lake) and then to Darling Run on April 3rd where we found ice on the stone outcrops along the rails-to-trails bicycle path.

It will be fun to get back out in and bird watching with some good folks again.
