Welcome Our Feathered Friends to Pittsburgh’s Parks

May is prime migration season and the perfect time to celebrate the incredible variety of birds in Pittsburgh’s parks. Whether stopping for a break during a long migration journey or guiding their fledglings through first flights, there are so many different kinds of birds to see—and hear—this month. Frick Park is especially alive with activity, offering great views of migrating songbirds and the sound of their melodies that fill the air. Dig into this special bird-themed edition of The Parks Press, and explore all the bird-centric programming we have planned this month!
