Join us for a comfortable-pace bird walk at Arlington Cemetery, looking for resident and migratory bird species among trees, shrubs, and flowers of this peaceful green space. Spring migration is underway at the end of April, and we hope to find a variety of colorful warblers, orioles, vireos, flycatchers, thrushes and other songbirds, as well as raptors, woodpeckers, sparrows, and maybe a rare vagrant passing through.
During the bird walk we’ll participate in the Philadelphia area City Nature Challenge. This worldwide community science initiative runs April 24-27, using iNaturalist to take a snapshot of nature everywhere! If you’d like to join the CNC fun, download iNaturalist onto your smart phone before you arrive, and submit photos of plants, insects, birds, and all-things nature on-site.
Meet at Toppitzer Funeral Home at 8 am. We’ll walk about 1.5 miles along a paved road, so wear comfortable walking shoes. Bring binoculars or borrow some.
FREE to attend. All are welcome: you don’t have to be a member of BCDC. Binoculars provided by Upper Darby Recreation. Leaders: Jamie Watts (215-539-7920) and Lynne Rabchuk; Photo by Jamie Watts.
