Don Orkoskey reminds you that May 10, 2025 is World Migratory Bird Day, peak spring migration season in Pittsburgh. The Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy is hosting an event at the Frick Environmental Center, and the Audubon Society and local bird clubs have resources for both beginners and experienced birders.
Hey, it's Don from WDO Photography, and I've just been out in Frick Park here in Pittsburgh taking photos of lots of birds and hearing so many more that I didn't get a chance to take pictures of. But the rain has chased me back to the car, so I wanted to quickly make this video to let you know if you didn't already, or to remind you that next Saturday, May 10th, is World Migratory Bird Day. This is an excellent day to get out and photograph birds and other wildlife, and if you're not familiar and you don't know about it, it's Basically, it's peak spring migration, and it's a Saturday, so it makes it easy for people to participate in lots of activities that are happening close to you. For example, here locally, the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy is hosting a big event at the Frick Environmental Center. The state is doing things all across Pennsylvania at different state parks, so check that— those things out if you're local or if you're in Pennsylvania. And if you're not, see what's happening in your area, because I promise you groups like The Audubon Society and local bird clubs will certainly be out doing things, so you can find folks who can help you out if you're new to birding or new to bird photography. And you can get out there and find all sorts of beautiful birds that have their breeding plumage in, which makes them even more pretty than they otherwise are. So next Saturday, May 10th, get out there for World Migratory Bird Day and enjoy yourself. And I hope to see you if you're here local. Thanks so much. See you next time. Bye-bye.
