Where: Core Creek County Park

Walk Leader: Sharon Furlong (sfurlong5@verizon.net)

Description: This walk will begin at the first ball field off the Woodbourne Road entrance, opposite the school. It is beyond where the tennis courts are, where the first ball field opens right beyond the open air pavilion, and where the brick restrooms are located. There is plenty of parking. Like last year, I will indicate different routes one can take to change or extend your own hike, and talk about habitat. And of course, we will scour the place for birds. And more birds. We hope to be out for at least 2.5 to 3 hours, but if you have to leave before, there are places you can return to your car more directly and I will do my best to get you on that route.

Registration is not required.

Join us to learn about The Red-tailed Hawk project - it is a research collaboration focused on the ecology and evolution of Buteo jamaicensis. In this presentation, Bryce will outline the work of the Red-tailed Hawk Project, including what we do and do not know about the species, the goals of the working group, and their approach to data collection. Bryce will also share preliminary results from the project's work, including their extensive tracking efforts to better understand movement in migratory populations. 

A Field Trip to Pine Run Reservoir & Covered Bridge Park

Pine Run is a small (39 acre) lake bordered to the south and east by seasonal mudflats and large patches of weedy, dry fields and grassy, wet fields. There is an elevated path that runs along the southeastern shore of the lake from Iron Hill Rd. The property is owned by Bucks County Water and Sewer Authority and is open to the public.

Celebrity Shorebirds: Piping Plovers and Common Terns at Presque Isle. After a 60-year absence, Piping Plovers are now once again calling Gull Point at Presque Isle State Park their summer home. Nesting there since 2017, they have contributed to the endangered Great Lakes population in a meaningful way and afforded us the opportunity to learn more about these charismatic shorebirds. They have also provided moments of deep sadness as well as sublime joy. Birdsong will provide an overview of Erie Bird Observatory programs and provide information about the Great Lakes population of Piping Plovers, including highlights from the last nine years of monitoring. She will also talk about Common Terns, who have also attempted to nest at Gull Point and were finally successful in 2024.
