Outstanding Bird Photography At This Spectacular Former Country Club

Don Orkoskey | May 27, 2025

The Churchill Valley Greenway is a reclaimed nature preserve that’s become a birding hotspot in Pittsburgh's eastern suburbs. Check out my video. Also, read more about the history of the Churchill Valley Site on my other website Orkoskey.com 

From Exclusive Country Club To Natural Wonderland

The Greenway sits on the site of the former Churchill Valley Country Club. At one point, this exclusive country club was second to only the Oakmont Country Club. Now, it's a glorious natural oasis for birds and other wildlife.

This week I made time to visit and brought my Sigma 150-600. As a result, I got to see and photograph a ton of incredible birds. Have you ever visited the Greenway? If so let me know what you thought of it. Leave me a comment here or on my video.
