Wednesday, October 22nd, 4:45 PM at Pennypack Park. Meet at the Rhawn Street parking lot, Rhawn Street and Holmehurst Ave.

Join us for a fall migration bird walk around the neighborhood led by expert birder Holger Pflicke. We plan to stay out for 1 - 2 hours and will be walking mostly on flat and well-traveled paths. This walk is open to anyone and beginners are welcome. There will be limited or no access to restrooms and please dress for the weather. Bring your binoculars if you have them. 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.
