Philly Birding Weekend Birdwatch Kayak

Join us for a guided kayak tour focused on the birds of the Poquessing Creek and Delaware River. We will be joined by Bria, Senior Coordinator of Audubon Mid-Atlantic at the Discovery Center (audubon.org/Mid-Atlantic), who will teach us about the birds we encounter out on the water. Bria will also cover how to use digital tools to identify what we see and hear, so you will leave with a better handle on identifying birds in the wild! Please bring your own binoculars! Note that the Free Library of Philadelphia offers birding backpacks (including binoculars) for loan at multiple locations. We will mostly paddle in tandem (two-person) kayaks, so if you arrive solo, you may get paired with a new friend. This activity is open to all ages 12+, and minors must be accompanied by an adult. Ticket sales support Glen Foerd's environmental programs and help keep our costs low for the general public. However, if the cost of this event is prohibitive, please reach out to Rob at [email protected]. No one will be turned away for lack of funds! --- Please be prepared for seasonal weather conditions and moderate physical exertion. Getting in and out of your boat can be wet and muddy, so wear appropriate clothing and consider bringing something to change into after the activity. Don’t forget your water and sunscreen! The meeting point for this event will be behind the Carriage House, which is a short walk down the drive from the public parking lot. Events can be canceled on short notice due to weather and river conditions. Please keep an eye on your email leading up to the event. October 11 from 1-3 pm is the rain date for this program.
