What a fun time Chimney Swift watching @costarbrewing last night! Thank you Etna for hosting and great to see so many new faces. Our “official” count was about 130 swifts. If you missed out last night, visit Dominic and CoStar Brewing this weekend before the Chimney Swifts leave us for the season or look at chimneys in your area as the sun starts to set and do your own count. What are some areas in western Pennsylvania that you enjoy watching swifts roost as they migrate? 📸 C Mendenhall

🦆🦆 Join us for an in-depth exploration of the fascinating world of waterfowl! This four-week series combines classroom instruction with guided field experiences during both fall and late winter migration periods. Participants will investigate waterfowl identification, molt, migration, breeding behavior, habitat preferences, vocalizations, and other aspects of their natural history while observing a wide variety of species in the field. Whether studying distant flocks or close-up behavior, participants will gain the knowledge and skills needed to better understand and appreciate these remarkable birds.
