Join the Philly Queer Birders (PQB) for Weeknight Birding
Tuesday, October 20th
4:45 pm - 6:15 pm
From the PQB organizers: Sometimes you get really busy and can only schedule a bird walk on a weekday at a really specific time that’s dictated by the rapidly decreasing fall daylight But we’re making it happen! Join us on Tuesday, October 20th from 4:45-6:15 pm at The Woodlands as we enjoy some cemetery birding, the crisp air of fall migration, and the best bunch of queer friends the city has to offer
Although our walk will have to start pretty promptly at 4:45 pm, you can still find us if you arrive late! When you enter the gate, turn left and follow the outer, paved path. We’ll be moving slowly as we look for warblers, kinglets, and sparrows! Bathrooms on the property will likely be closed, but you may be able to use bathrooms at surrounding businesses. There is plenty of parking in the cemetery, and The Woodlands is near plenty of public transit. We’ll have some binoculars to share, and you can also check some out at any library branch! We’re excited to get out there and see some birds with you!
