Spring Migration is here!! ☀️ This event is crucial for our local birds, as they are now searching for food, mates, and proper nesting grounds. Keep en eye out for your season favorites, like the Eastern Phoebe pictured above! Comment what your favorite spring bird is!! 🌺 - - #lvas #lehighaudubonsociety #lehighvalley #allentown #allentownpa #pennsylvania #pa #birds #springmigration #easternphoebe

An increasing concern in bird conservation is bird collisions. Advocates for wildlife know that glass can be harmful towards our birds, especially during migration periods. As we move into Spring 🌺, we want to promote bird dotting and ask our supporters to learn more the harm glass can cause. Accounts with more information will be tagged! - graphic by Kyle from Upper Saucon 🦅 Instagram Accounts: @birdsafephilly @birdsafeguelph @birdsafepa @birdsafecampussummit #lvas #lehighvalleyaudubonsociety #lehighvalleypa #pa #pennsylvania #birdsafeglass #birds #birdconservation

The LVAS Youth Committee invites families and beginner birders to celebrate the start of spring with a guided walk at the Whitehall Parkway! Saturday, March 29 (9:00-11:00 a.m.): Whitehall Parkway. Meet at the Parkway’s main parking lot along S. Church St. (see map: https://shorturl.at/gFiSR) and enjoy a two-hour bird walk through mixed habitats along the Ironton Rail Trail and Coplay Creek. We hope to see a variety of bird species, including some early spring migrants. This program is free and open to birders of all experience levels. A limited number of loaner binoculars will be available for those who need them. Contact trip leader, Chad Schwartz, at youth@lvaudubon.org if you have any questions. 📸: Skyler Ewing

Calling all bird lovers! 🦢✨ Join us for a morning of birdwatching at Round Valley Recreation Area, New Jersey’s largest freshwater lake. While we’ll be spotting all kinds of birds, we’re especially excited to see the stunning waterfowl that call this place home. Meet us at the park-n-ride on Rt. 33 & William Penn Hwy at 8:00 AM for a fun carpool adventure! 🚗💨 Gas up your car if you’re driving, and if you’re hopping in, don’t forget to pitch in for gas. Let’s make some birdwatching memories! - - #lvas #lehighvalleyaudubon #lehighvalleypa #pennsylvania #newjersey #birding #birds #waterfowl #audubonsociety

Join us to kick-off Spring 2025 by discovering some of the bee-utiful bees that are in our yards, gardens, and local wild places! Pennsylvania has as many species of bees as birds, but they’re easy to miss until you know what to look for! You’ll learn how and why bees gather pollen yet unwittingly pollinate plants in the process. And discover that some insects you think are bees are imitators. We’ll end with easy ways to support native bees. Karen authors Bugs for Birds for our Osprey newsletter. She’s an award-winning macro photographer, Certified Pollinator Steward, and is completing her qualifications as a Pennsylvania Master Naturalist.

Now is a great opportunity to finish up some winter projects and get ready for nicer weather and some great birding. If you are thinking about adding a bluebird box to your property, now is a great time to get it installed. Birds are slowly moving around and starting to inspect locations for nests this season. If you have nest boxes up already, now is the time to get them cleaned out and ready for the next generation of bluebirds! No need to add material, simply remove any old nesting material or caches that rodents may have left for winter. - - #lehighvalleypa #lehighvalley #pa #pennsylvania #allentownpa #lvas #lehighvalleyaudubonsociety #birds #easternbluebirds #spring

Meet at the Park-n-Ride, RT. 33 and William Penn Highway, at 7:45 AM. This is an all day event! Dress warm, bring drink, snacks, and lunch.

If you are able and willing to drive please have a tank full of gas. If you would rather ride, then be prepared to chip in for gas and tolls.
