What's that melodious tune? Learn the answer to that question in our NEW in-depth class for adults: Southwestern Pennsylvania Birds

Meet a feathered Animal Ambassador native to the Pittsburgh region, then finish up by taking a walk outside in Allegheny Commons Park to experience the great diversity of birds found even in urban habitats. This is class subject matter that you can easily put to use in your own backyard!
