Thank you Terry for posting this about Philly. Ornithologists who research bird window strikes say the biggest problems are OUR HOUSES! You may have heard the thuds and seen a bird fly off or lie on the ground for a bit then fly away, then think: "Great! They'll be OK. " They won't; most die from head injuries. And most bird window strikes do NOT leave a trace on your window! It pains me that I never see treated home windows. Come on bird lovers! Visit BIRD COLLISIONS IN THE ANTHROPOCENE for details on window treatments. https://www.hollygreenberg.com/bird-safe-windows

Here we go to Crawford County! Enjoy tomorrow's sunny weather (Saturday Oct. 3) by joining the field trip in Guys Mills.
Meet at 9am at the parking lot in ENWR Headquarters on Wood Duck Lane in Guys Mills, PA. The Tsuga Trail at the Erie National Wildlife Headquarters is a 1.2 to 1.6-mile two loop trail that winds through a variety of natural habitats. The 1.2-mile loop has numbered signs designating stops which are explained in an interpretative leaflet available at the trail head. The additional 0.4-mile segment of the 1.6 mile loop passes through hardwood forests behind the headquarters. The trail is raised above the surrounding ground and is surfaced with wood chips for comfortable, dry walking year round. Bridges carry the trail user over small streams and a beaver pond. The shorter loop is gently sloping and presents no demanding hills to climb. As with the rest of the Erie National Wildlife Refuge, the Tsuga Trail area has a variety of rich natural habitats. Along this trail you will pass through meadows of upland grasses, wetlands with waterfowl and amphibians, mixed forests and cool, dark hemlock thickets.
PLEASE REGISTER!
