Birding at Wentz Run Park

Wentz Run Park in Blue Bell is an under-birded location in Montgomery County.  Although the park has a number of athletic fields, it has some naturalized areas as well as a nature trail that goes through woods and meadows. A number of migratory birds have been noted there during spring migration (Northen Parula, Blue-winged warbler, Chestnut-sided warbler, Prairie warbler, Black and White Warbler), but there is little data for the fall migration period so we are curious as to what might be there at the outset of fall migration.  The first part of our walk will be on paved trails along edge habitat.  We will then head into the woods and meadows where we will be walking on earthen trails.  Please wear sturdy waterproof shoes as it can be wet in some areas. There are large stepping stones to cross the creek that we will have to navigate.

Park in the large lot at the end of Anvil Drive where we will meet.  There are restrooms on site.
