Note: The Chester County Parks system has seven wonderful parks which provide excellent birdwatching opportunities. Join us as we explore all seven of the parks, one per month, in 2023.
Our 4th location is Hibernia County Park, home to woods, fields, and the 94-acre Chambers Lake. We will meander through the park’s various habitats searching land, water, and sky for passerines, waterfowl, raptors, and more.
This outing will cover about 2 miles on earthen trails and will last approximately 2-3 hours. Restrooms are available on site at pavilion #4, where we will meet.
