Mindful Birding @UPENN Morris Arboretum

In Mindful Birding we will combine observing birds with mindfulness techniques, creating a heightened awareness of both ourselves and the world around us.

Birds at Pennypack on the Delaware

Pennypack on the Delaware Pennypack on the Delaware Park, 7801 State Road, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Pennypack on the Delaware is uniquely positioned along the river, providing crucial habitat for migrants and the odd rarity. The flats at the confluence of Pennypack Creek and the Delaware frequently host gulls and shorebirds. The park also hosts Philadelphia’s most viewable Bald Eagle nest. Dress for weather. Let's meet at the covered picnic area (GPS: 40.0277033, -75.012093). No binoculars? No worries! Birding backpacks with binoculars and field guides are now back on loan at the following local Philly libraries: Andorra, Cobbs Creek, Cecil B.

Winter Gulls at Glen Foerd

Glen Foerd 5001 Grant Ave, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Glen Foerd mansion sits along the Delaware River in the northeastern-most corner of Philly and is one of the best places in the city to study gulls during the winter. While there is no guarantee, we are hoping to see a rare gull such as Iceland or Glaucous Gull. There should also be a good amount of waterfowl out on the river and we can discuss how to distinguish Double-crested Cormorants from the Great Cormorants that visit the area in winter. We plan this as a stationary event overlooking the river, but if folks want, we can also explore the
