Wings, Water, and Wildlife

Celebrate birds, nature, and water! 

• Meet Audubon’s Eastern Screech Owl

• Try your hand at fly casting and learn more about fly fishing from the Arrowhead Chapter of Trout Unlimited

• Learn how fish surveys are done - see an electro-fishing demonstration at 11am in little Buffalo Creek directly behind our building, held by Duquesne University. Electro-fishing is a non-lethal surveying technique that helps us to identify the species and number of fish in the water. Learn more about the species we are seeing at the Duquesne University table throughout the day - with a live tank!

• Make and Take activities including seed balls, a fun nature craft, and fish prints (you can bring your own all cotton t-shirt or just make a print on our paper to take home)

• Purchase drinks and snacks from Scout Pack 557

• Stop by the Flying Solo Marketplace to check out the groups’ members selling their art, baked goods, and handcrafted items. A portion of their proceeds support the education and conservation work of Audubon!

While you’re here, meet our conservation and other partners to learn more about their work or efforts within our watershed:
