Yes, I was born and raised in central Pennsylvania. I have lived in New England for 6 years now. If you get a chance, make a trip to Presque Isle State Park on the peninsula just outside of Erie, Pa. Spring and fall are the best times. You will see shorebirds galore, and migrants making the trip across Lake Erie. Make sure you stop at the Tom Ridge Enviromental Center just before the entrance to the park for a guide of the birds on the peninsula. May 9, 10 and 11, 2009 the Festival of the birds at Presque Isle will be going on.
