Directions: 1481 W. Pittsburgh St., Scottdale. 724- 887-9210. Take the Scottdale Exit off 119S. Make a left off the exit ramp onto 819 S toward Scottdale. Take a right at the light onto w. Pittsburgh St. and follow it through the 2nd light for 2 miles to the bottom of a large hill where you’ll cross a small cement bridge. Turn left immediately after you cross the bridge between the guard rail and fire hydrant. If you come to Creek Road, you’ve gone 5 feet too far.

Description: Georgia Shalek has once again invited us to her home for a feeder-watch get together. Time: 8:00 - 3:00 with a walk around the grounds and lunch. Throw some boots into your car if you want to do the walk. Bring any drinks or snacks you want to share. Arrive and depart at your convenience. No rain date.  Bad weather – still on for those who can make it.

If you can’t make Georgia’s, do your own armchair birding as part of the Great Backyard Bird Count.  Count the maximum # of each species at your feeder at any one time from Feb 16-19.  Walk the neighborhood to add non-feeder species. Count on as many of the four days as you wish. Turn data in to Steve Manns.
