Seeking Beginner Piano Lessons Recommendations
by Nicholas Delphia 13 Jun '18

13 Jun '18

Hello Neighbors. We are in search of piano lessons for our son starting this coming Fall (he'll be entering kindergarten). We live in East Liberty, so a place that offers lessons in the East End would be ideal. Also amenable to an instructor that does lessons at our house. Any recommendations welcome. Thanks Nick Delphia

Walk for Children’s, June 23
by Ashten Farah 12 Jun '18

Hi everyone, Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh is hosting their annual “Walk for Children’s” on June 23 at Schenley Park (Flagstaff Hill, across from Phipps). If you have kiddos (or just like to act like a kiddo!), I’d highly recommend going. There are bounce houses, stilt walkers, balloon animal artists, movie and tv show characters, giant board games, face painting, food trucks, and lots of giveaways. All fundraising proceeds benefit the greatest needs of the hospital. It’s a great way to spend time with your community and give back. More info here: www.WalkforChildrens.com Hope to see you there!

Highland Park Nature-Watch 6/12/18

In response to my recent postings on wild bird sightings, I’ve been invited to write a monthly column in the Highland Park Community Newsletter. Send your observations regarding unusual birds and other aspects of the “wild side” of Highland Park to this e-mail—I’ll edit and compile them for the monthly Newsletter. This will include the photos of birds that many of you have been asking for. Your own photos would also be most welcome. No names or yard locations will be given without your approval. More timely bits of information will be posted on the Highland Park ListServ. Speaking of which… • There have been more sightings of large Pileated Woodpeckers near the park. MR had one hanging from her feeder recently. PG had one fly over her head near the tennis courts on Stanton Ave. Maybe there’s a nest nearby. These are huge birds, some over 19 inches long, and are akin to the possibly extinct “Ivory-Billed”—the holy grail for serious birders. • PG also observed a Great Blue Heron at Carnegie Lake, on the far side of the Park. • Several people have reported seeing “Red-Bellied Woodpeckers.” I had always thought these were Red-Headed Woodpeckers, but the latter have a head that is fully red. The Red-Bellied just has red on the back and top (males only.) Strangely, it does NOT have a red belly!—only a slight blush. Its key identifying feature is zebra striping on its back like a Flicker. To confuse matters further, the male Hairy Woodpecker and smaller Downy Woodpecker also have patches of red on the backs of their heads. These two are the only woodpeckers with white on their backs. Their names refer to the texture of their feathers, but this isn’t very helpful for field identification. • Can anyone provide information on the hawks of Highland Park?—which are common, which are rare, and what to look for to identify them. Thanks, Richard Ref: Roger Tory Peterson, A Field Guide to the Birds East of the Rockies, Houghton Mifflin, Boston, 1980

Dog walker needed for large breed dog
by Emily Nicholson 12 Jun '18

12 Jun '18

Neighbors, I met a very nice dog in the park today - a 125 lb, 10 year old cane corso named Bruno. His owner, Wayne, lives in Cheswick but brings Bruno to Highland Park each day for a long walk. Wayne is having back surgery very soon and he needs someone to help him walk Bruno while he is recovering, probably for a 2-week period. Bruno will only walk with Wayne (I have a very stubborn pit bull who only likes to walk with me, so I understand this problem), so Wayne would still go on the walks but would need someone else to come with him and actually hold Bruno’s leash, as he is very large and strong and still enjoys chasing squirrels. So the dog walker needs to be someone who can physically handle the demands of walking a very large and strong dog. He would prefer someone local to Highland Park so that he can just meet them there each day. If you or someone you know is right for this job, please email Wayne directly at pwayner(a)yahoo.com. Thanks, Emily Sent from my iPhone
