From quiet walks through Frick Park and day hikes in the Laurel Highlands to trips far afield to site-specific species, the birders of Southwestern Pennsylvania are constantly on the lookout for their next find.
Picture this: you step outside your front door to enjoy another summer's day, when, suddenly, you hear a faint peeping coming from somewhere in your bushes nearby. You crouch down to take a closer look and discover a small, flightless little bird on the ground, seemingly alone and away from its nest.
Everyone, including birders, enjoys reading some good news. There have been some recent success stories involving some of the world’s most endangered birds, including hopeful stories about the Hawaiian stilt and Guam kingfisher.
A fourth Guam kingfisher has hatched at the National Aviary this year, bringing the species one step closer to someday returning to its native habitat, where it's been extinct for 40 years.
