FIELD NOTES: Hillside Park in Lackawanna County offers diversity of wildlife, recreational opportunities (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hillside Park offers diversity of wildlife, opportunities SOUTH ABINGTON TWP. — The golden-hour sun was diffused by a thick layer of fog over Eston Wilson Lake when I arrived at Hillside Park at 7:45 a.m. Wednesday. The sharp whistle of a northern cardinal, the chortles and screams of blue jays, and the melody of a song sparrow blended together to create a morning symphony. Fishermen cast their lines on the water, couples walked their dogs, and construction workers were busy under the park’s pav
FIELD NOTES: Chasing moments, birding through a tornado watch (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When there’s a tornado watch, but you want to keep birding Raindrops beat down in chaotic rhythm on the windshield as I sat in my car around noon Thursday, Aug. 20, eating the picnic lunch I’d packed in my kitchen just before dawn. I’d set out on the turnpike early that morning and watched the sun rise as I drove southeast toward Philadelphia. Arriving at Dixon Meadow Preserve a little before 8 a.m., I checked the weather app on my phone and looked up at the sky. A bit cloudy, but it didn’t look

Up until this point, my Monday morning hike on Aug. 10 had been somewhat uneventful, despite having already been there for over an h
FIELD NOTES: Bird or blob? The story of a bald eagle and a Dr. Pepper (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The story of a bald eagle and a Dr. Pepper I stood on the rocky shore of the Susquehanna River on Tuesday morning, scanning the trees and cliffs on the other side for the bald eagle that had disappeared there moments before. Squinting, I silently chided myself for not scheduling the optometrist appointment I’ve been putting off for over a year. A blurry white spec at the top of a tree caught my attention, and I lifted my camera to focus on that spot through my telephoto lens. I’ve been fooled en
FIELD NOTES: Susquehanna Riverlands Adventure I (opens the original)
Read excerpt
SALEM TWP. — I decided to explore a local birding hotspot on Monday morning that I’ve never been to before: Susquehanna Riverlands. Owned and maintained by Talen Energy, the park is across Route 11 from the company’s Susquehanna Steam Electric Station. It spans 1,200 acres along the Susquehanna River and hosts over 230 bird species, according to the Susquehanna Greenway website. It is designated an Important Bird Area by the National Audubon Society. Although I spent over two-and-a-half hours th
