Birds of Centre County, PA

Presented here are 73 photos of various birds I photographed in 2010 and 2011 (a few from 2009 are tossed in as well) in Centre County, mostly from Bald Eagle State Park (BESP), Howard, PA, and Curtin Wetland, off Rt 150, north of I-80 at Milesburg, PA. Most of these images have not been displayed on my website before. I've presented the images seasonally from spring to winter. I've also included two Photo Essays; one on the Eastern Bluebird and the other concerning House Wren nest bulding; difficulties with sticks! Enjoy!
