On September 13, Millbrook Marsh and the State College Bird Club welcomed birders of all ages and experience levels for Birds and Bagels and our first meeting of the season of the Youth Bird Club As luck would have it, both groups flocked together to observe a Yellow-billed Cuckoo!

You can join us and the rest of the cuckoo paparazzi on Tuesdays from 8 - 9:30 AM at Millbrook Marsh's Marboe Pavilion for free morning bird walks with The State College Bird Club. We observed 32 unique species on today's walk! The last walk of the season is October 20.

Thanks to a $350 grant from the State College Bird Club and the hard work of 15 volunteers from the club, Pennsylvania Native Plant Society, Pennsylvania Master Naturalists, and our community, we’ve taken steps toward improving the area around the existing bird feeder station along the Spring Creek Education Building.

We are grateful to our wonderful volunteers, community collaborators, and grant supporters for helping make this project possible. A special thank you to Kristy Gallo and Danielle Lanagan for their leadership and guidance!

NEW to Millbrook Marsh: a four-bin compost system made possible through an Eagle Scout Project led by Carmen Defelice.

Carmen's experience during Pollinator Garden Work and Learn sessions inspired her to choose, create and build this project. The new, sturdy, four-bin system (built on the site of our original three-bin system constructed by Taylor Gonet as part of her Gold Scout Award project) will help us continue supporting the thriving demonstration gardens at Millbrook Marsh.

A big thank you to Carmen, her family, her mentor Aaron Teel, and the members of Troup 32 for choosing Millbrook Marsh as the beneficiary for this project. We are so thankful for their time, hard work, and commitment to conservation and creating healthy spaces for our native plants and pollinators.
