Quiet Fall Birding on the Schuylkill River Trail - Spring City

Mid-week, especially in the fall, is a favorite time for enjoying trails that are quiet to foot traffic, yet active with birds. This accessible, flat, paved stretch of the Schuylkill River Trail is especially good for anyone with mobility or other challenges, as well as being a delight for new birders, experienced birders, younger or older birders - you get the idea, it's a great birding area!

Come join us as we search the pond for our resident kingfisher pair as well as ducks and other waterfowl, songbirds and woodpeckers migrating through or living year-round in the woods-edges by the river, and hawks flying over the fields nearby. We may find any or all as we take about two hours for our slow mosey on this 1+ mile out and back route.

Bring your binoculars if you have them. We will have a few pairs to lend.

There are no restrooms available on site.
Guides: Lynn Sowden, Connie Stevenson, Jim Ermer

DIRECTIONS: We will meet at the trail's edge in the large parking lot on Riverside Drive at the RiverEdge Square Shopping Center in Spring City. Riverside Drive is one block west of the river off of E. Bridge Street.
