23 September 2024

Next Sunday we’re heading back to Frick Park at Commercial Street to avoid Forbes and Fifth Avenue road closures during Pittsburgh’s Great Race. Don’t miss maps and instructions at end.

Join me for a bird & nature walk in Frick Park on Sunday, 29 September 2024, 8:30a – 10:30a. Meet at the Nine Mile Run Trail Parking lot on Commercial Street.

We’re sure to see fruits, seeds, goldenrod and bees as we check out Nature’s activity near the trailhead on our way to the boardwalk.

Last Saturday in Frick Park Charity Kheshgi and I saw Swainson’s thrushes and six species of warblers (checklist here). The mix of migratory species will change by the time we reach Frick next Sunday but I can promise blue jays and red-bellied woodpeckers. Both have a lot of personality.

Dress for the weather and wear comfortable walking shoes. Bring binoculars and field guides if you have them.

Visit my Events page before you come in case of changes or cancellations.
