Discover the vibrant winter birdlife at The Discovery Center in Philadelphia! This is a premier destination for birders, situated along the Atlantic Flyway, making it a crucial migratory stopover for over 200 species.
Our expert-led bird walks offer a fantastic opportunity to observe a variety of wintering ducks that flock to the region because the Delaware River rarely freezes completely. Keep an eye out for species such as:
Bufflehead
Canvasback
Common Merganser
Hooded Merganser
American Wigeon
During the walk, participants will also learn how to use eBird, a vital community science tool from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the National Audubon Society. We'll show you how to log your sightings using the eBird Mobile app and contribute valuable data that supports global bird research and conservation efforts.
