Nighthawk Night with Feminist Birding Club Philly at Awbury Arboretum

September 10 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm

Join Feminist Bird Club Philly on Thursday, Sept. 10 from 6:30 – 8:00pm at Awbury Arboretum for a mostly stationary outing. Feel free to bring chairs, blankets, and/or a snacks! We’ll be looking for Common Nighthawks migrating at dusk as well as some other fall migrants! We’ll set up up the hill from the lower pond (near Washington Lane Regional Rail Station at 6235 Clearview St.; here’s a pin to the meet up location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/jrV3RHbtEz2dLJPm7). Stop by anytime between 6:30 – 8:00pm and stay for as long or as short as you’d like.

We will have extra binoculars available for anyone who needs to borrow them. Sign-up is encouraged for this event and we’ll be sending updates to people who register in the event that we need to make weather-related changes/cancellation. Please email feministbirdclub.philly@gmail.com with any questions, or message us on instagram @fbc.philly.
