Thursday, September 24 (6:30pm-9pm) Join Audubon Society of Western Pennsylvania for an evening of birding and beer! Chimney Swifts, a vulnerable species in our area, spend nearly their whole day in flight feeding on insects. Then in the evening, these small, fast-flying birds gather in large groups to create a breathtaking aerial display as they return to their communal roosts. Enjoy front-row seats, with a drink in hand, to a nearby roost while learning about these incredible birds and what we can do to protect them. The bird watching is free; participants are responsible for the cost of their beverages. Location: CoStar Brewing 323 Butler St. Etna, PA 15223 Please register if you plan on attending: https://aswp.app.neoncrm.com/nx/portal/neonevents/events?path=%2Fportal%2Fevents%2F55476
