BCDC Summer Picnic at Ridley Creek State Park

- Birds 'N' Brunch (Rain or Shine) at Brinton Run Preserve in Chadds Ford - May 17, 2025 - 8:00 am - 11:30 am -

Rich in history and habitat, North American Land Trust’s (NALT’s) Brinton Run Preserve in Chadds Ford is the perfect place for a bird walk during the peak of spring migration in Delaware County. Opened to the public in spring 2022, the property features 3 miles of trails spanning 71 acres of woodlands, fields, streams, and a pond. More than 100 bird species have been documented on the preserve, with more expected to be added through continued wildlife surveys.

The Birding Club of Delaware County (BCDC) is delighted to partner with NALT in hosting a special Birds ‘n Brunch event to highlight nesting and migratory bird species. We’ll start with a walk led by BCDC expert leaders, looking for flycatchers, vireos, warblers, orioles, swallows, bluebirds and more.  After the walk, stay for a light, continental-style brunch including juice, coffee, fruit, pastries, bagels and spreads. Mingle with fellow birders inside Brinton Run’s newly renovated facility.

All are welcome; you do not have to be a member of BCDC.  The walk is from 8 am to 10 am; brunch is after the walk.  (UPDATE: This event is rain or shine. If it is too rainy for the walk at 8 am, we will eat first and see if the rain lets up.)

This event is free, but we ask that you register here: Registration for Birds ‘N’ Brunch
