Hello everyone.

Columbia County Birding Spotlight on March 17-20, 2023

Pennsylvania Society for Ornithology (PSO) is promoting counties across
the state to explore its hotspots and find as many birds as we can.

On March 17-20, join us as we lead a concentrated effort to bird
Columbia County!We are joining forces with local birders, North Branch
Bird Club and Seven Mountains Audubon.

As a group, we want to document as many birds as possible during this
extended weekend. Birders are invited to tag along with trip leaders or
explore the county’s game lands, lake, river, fields, etc. on their own
terms.

We will be using a Whatsapp chat for texting, that we set up to get out
the word for rarities and group information.The link for that is

We will also create an eBird Trip Report to document the four-day bird
count.For anyone who is going to be birding during the 4-day birding
spotlight, we ask you share your eBird checklists with the PSO Birding
Data account then we can keep track easier.We will also be providing an
eBird Trip Report link where pictures, checklists, etc will be available
for everyone to enjoy.Here is the link to join
that.https://ebird.org/pa/tripreport/111370
