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 (low tide will be at 9.30). The park also hosts Philadelphia’s most viewable Bald Eagle nest. Dress for weather.
Let’s meet at the covered picnic area at the ballfields (GPS: 40.0277033, -75.012093).
