Young Eastern Screech-Owl Did you know owls have tube-shaped eyes that are not able to rotate? Head bobbing is a way for them to triangulate how far objects are away. Other birds of prey do the same. Note: this owlet was perched outside of a window and was not approached when filmed. Thank you to the homeowners for inviting us into their home to observe these owlets. Please respect young birds during this time of year and keep a safe distance. 📸D Mendenhall
Join us for a summer morning exploring one of western Pennsylvania’s best sites for grassland birds. Piney Tract’s rolling fields and reclaimed strip mines are alive in June with the songs of meadowlarks, bobolinks, grasshopper sparrows, and other open-country specialists. We’ll look and listen for these charismatic breeders while discussing how grassland habitat restoration supports their nesting success and long-term survival. This walk complements our online program on grassland birds and their habitats on June 17.
