Fall Birding at Lower Perkiomen Valley Park

Lower Perkiomen Valley Park offers the opportunity to bird along wooded edges and along the Perkiomen Creek. We will be walking in the grass and on wood chip-covered trails along the river to avoid the bikers and joggers on the paved trail. The grass will be wet so wear waterproof shoes or boots. This outing will be 2 to 3 hours and we will be looking for waterfowl along the creek, resident birds, and winter visitors.

Park in the lot at the end of New Mill Road (40.1244431, -75.4486112), where restrooms and the park office are located.

No prior knowledge of birds or birding is necessary to attend – beginners are always welcome! Children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Bring binoculars if you have them. The leaders will have a pair to loan out.
