The red-winged blackbird is one of the first #SignsofSpring, arriving at marshes and wetlands in #PaStateParks in late February and early March. Look for the red patches on the shoulders of the males and listen for their loud “conk-la-ree” call. #WhatsHappeningWednesday
Red-winged blackbird perches on the tip of a plant at Mount Pisgah State Park. The bird has a black beak and all black feathers except for a patch of red and white feathers at the top rounded area of its wings.

With proper safety precautions, recreating in winter can be good for your health. Don’t let colder temperatures stop you from spending a little time outdoors. ❄️🌲 Find winter recreation opportunities in #PaStateParks and #PaStateForests ➡️ bit.ly/2DgyRX2. #GetOutdoorsPa
Infographic on health benefits of winter recreation. The cold challenges the body more which can help strengthen heart health (not the case for those with heart disease). The body uses up more energy trying to keep warm, helping to burn more calories. Getting exposure to sunlight helps with vitamin D levels and protection against seasonal affective disorder. Colder temps help boost your immune system, helping to fight infections. Spending time outdoors in winter helps reduce stress and helps you think more clearly. DCNR logo.
