From September to November every year, tens of millions of birds pass through Philadelphia on their migration south; locations such as John Heinz NWR, Bartram’s Garden, and FDR park are top spots to go birding in this prime time. Autumn mornings are some of the best times to grab a pair of binoculars or a camera and go out and spot birds at one of the myriad locations in the Philadelphia area. The online forum eBird can be an invaluable resource for birders when scoping out locations to see recent activity. With eBird, along with the necessary equipment, birding, anyone can have a successful outing spotting birds from all over the East Coast!
