Fall Migration Bird Walk with Expert Birder, Holger Pflicke!

Sat, September 20, 2025 10:30 A.M. Add to your calendar
Penn Treaty Park

Please join the Free Library of Philadelphia and Holger Pflicke for a Fall Migration Bird Walk!  We plan to stay out for 1-2 hours, depending on the location, and walk mostly on flat and well-traveled paths. All events are open to everyone and all skill levels. We will go over binocular use, field guides, and apps if needed. Everyone is welcome to stay for as long or as short a time as they like. Restroom access is limited or unavailable. Check the weather and dress for comfort. These events will happen in moderate rain or shine, cancels for downpours and storms.  Our walk will begin at the Penn Treaty Park, imeeting at the entrance near the wooden sign (1301 N. Beach St).

The Free Library loans out Birding Backpacks, containing binoculars, field guides and trail maps at 20 locations, citywide!  A limited number of Birding Backpacks will be available at each walk.

Holger got hooked on birdwatching at age 12, thanks to his uncle, who spearheaded the reintroduction of Peregrine Falcons in his region of Germany. Since 2019, he has been leading bird walks in every corner of Philly. He enjoys exploring lesser-known Philly green spaces and sharing his experience through the joy of birding. He is the regional coordinator for the Pennsylvania Bird Atlas (2024-29) and organizes the city's breeding and mid-winter bird censuses.
