Shawnee State Park is one of the beautiful Pennsylvania State Parks where you can go to camp, boat, hike, and enjoy a plethora of wildlife, especially birds! To obtain the final coordinate for this cache you will have to channel your inner bird watcher and identify the birds below to solve for the final location coordinates. All the birds pictured below are birds that you could see at or around Shawnee State Park. Each bird picture corresponds to a letter that makes up the final coordinates below. Once you have identified the name of the bird, use the bird name/number key to determine which number the letter corresponds to and build the final coordinates to find the cache. This is a great cache to get kids involved with to help teach them what the different species of birds in the area look like, so they can hopefully spot some themselves. There is a geo checker on the page to help verify that you have the correct final coordinates. Inside the cache, there is an unactivated Kraken trackable tag as a prize for the first to find.
