Pennsylvania's Special Birds - Page 3

Habitats in The Keystone State stretch from the lowlands of the Delaware River valley through the thick forests of the Appalachian Mountains to the Lake Erie shoreline. Famed birding hotspots include John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge, a wetland oasis within urban Philadelphia; Presque Isle State Park, a peninsula in Lake Erie that acts like a magnet for rare migratory birds; and of course, the world's first and most famous hawk-watch site, Hawk Mountain Sanctuary on Kittatinny Ridge, where thousand of raptors can pass by on a single day in fall.
