Join us to explore the habitat at Palmyra Cove Nature Park, a 250-acre urban oasis along the Delaware River. This will be primarily a birdwatching/birding walk led by our friendly, experienced leaders to help locate & identify by sight & sound fall migrants in this eBird Hotspot during the peak of fall migration. Excellent for all levels interested in birds. Habitats include wetlands, woodlands, meadows, wild creek and river shoreline, and a freshwater tidal cove. This walk will not be on paved trails and you should bring binoculars, scopes for possible falcons, water and bug spray. No facilities are open on weekends.
Trip Leaders: Marie Hageman and Lloyd Shaw
