Winter Birding in Pennsylvania
Winter Birding in Pennsylvania
Learn which birds stick around Pennsylvania for the winter, how to identify them, and how to attract them! This presentation will expand on birds that visit bird feeders over the winter and what they like to see in your yard. There will also be a discussion on birds that winter in Pennsylvania that don't visit feeders, like the conspicuous snowy owl, and where to find them.
Court Harding is a member of the local Todd Bird Club and graduate student at the Indiana University of Pennsylvania in the biology program. She has been birding since 2016. Court grew up in Florida and is more accustomed to watching warblers in the winter rather than the summer, but she has adapted well to the Pennsylvania seasons. Court's own backyard feeder is the talk of the house finch community! Her own research centers around a species of iguana found in Honduras, but she enjoys looking for and photographing birds anywhere she travels. Court photographed over 300 species of birds in 2022 and hopes for just as many in 2023.
