Savannah Morning News
Savannah s squares are, in many ways, a portal to the past more than green spaces, they are a mostly-untarnished window to the nearly 288-year history of the oldest city in Georgia.

The year’s first Brandwein Field Trip, Search for Eagles took place in the Delaware Valley Sunday, Dec. 13 from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The temperature at the start was 36 degrees and at the finish 50 degrees. It was foggy with low visibility at the start until the fog lifted at 10 am. It was a pleasant partly sunny day that began with watching feeder birds, including hairy and downy woodpeckers, dark-eyed junco, blue jays, and pileated woodpeckers, among others. Four participants, wearing face coverings and social distancing, logged 150 miles in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area and Upper Delaware Scenic River from the Pocono Environmental Education Center (PEEC) to the Bushkill Access and the trip’s conclusion at the headwaters of the Lackawaxen River.
