LVAS has been documenting our local birds for over ninety years and published data in a book, Birds of the Lehigh Valley and Vicinity.
The fully revised 3rd edition is now available for preorder here in our online Shop!
The book is currently at the printer, and we hope to ship in time for Christmas or shortly thereafter. Either way, be one of the first to receive this brand new edition of our popular guidebook (6,000 copies sold since first published)!

Blue Mountain Ski Area
1660 Blue Mountain Dr · Palmerton, PA
Meet at the overlook, just past the Slope Side Grill and Bar. Dress warm as it is usually colder at hawk watching sites. If conditions aren't good for hawk migration then we will go for a bird walk in the valley below. For hawk watching there is no hiking required. Bring drink and snacks. There are heated bathrooms in the ski lodge. Trip leader is Mark Boyd (610-657-9401)
Leaser Lake is wonderful at all times of the year. This time we will look for waterfowl on the lake and continuing late passerines coming through our area.
We will meet at the parking lot for the North Boat Launch at 8:00 AM. Leaser Lake - North Launch, Ontelaunee Road · New Tripoli, PA

Scott Harris, Wildlife Photographer and Author of “Raptor Quest” takes us on his journey to find all 53 of the Raptors that call the lower 48 states home. He’ll share his adventures, misadventures, successes and failures during his 17 months of traveling more than 100,000 miles across 34 states. In Scotts words, “It’s about the raptors of course, but it’s also about the people I’ve met and the things I’ve learned.”
