Migratory Bird Day Walk at Ridley Creek State Park
Details
Whether or not you are usually active in the mornings, the birds always are - especially during migration. Join us for a fun start to the day with Ridley Creek SP's naturalist as we celebrate World Migratory Bird Day (technically October 11th). On our outing we will have a chance to observe some of the 16 species of warblers that live in or pass through this park as well as other fall migrants.
Those new to birding and families with children are welcome to join us. Some of the trails are uneven and rocky and may be muddy, so good footwear is important. Please bring binoculars if you have them; a field guide may also be helpful to carry with you if you have one.
This program will last 2 hours, and registration is not required.
Portable restrooms are available on site.
How to find us: Enter the park from Gradyville Road. Once in the park, follow the signs to the park office, which is Hunting Hill Mansion, and meet in the upper parking lot. If using GPS, enter these coordinates to take you directly to the meeting location: +39.95076, -75.45191
