Valentine’s Day Bird LOVERS Hike

Want to be part of a global bird counting experience?  Join us on one of the best bird watching trails at Lake Nockamixon State Park as we participate in the Great Backyard Bird Count.    Each year people from around the world come together to watch, learn about, count, and celebrate birds.  We will meet on Sunday, February 14th at 10 a.m. (meet at the hike location at 9:45 a.m.) and hike along Elephant Trail (moderately trafficked loop located near Perkasie, PA – rated as moderate) to a spot along the edge of Lake Nockamixon where we will sit and look for birds.  Please bring a chair and/or a heavy blanket.  This hike is suitable for beginners.   We will hike, explore and identify birds until 12 p.m.  There will be a Recovery Meeting half way through this event.  For directions & more information click on link) Elephant Trail.

If you would like to take part in the bird identification/counting process, please bring along binoculars, a bird identifying book or download a bird identification app, such as the Merlin App or the eBird App found in the app store, onto your phone.  Please be sure to check out the Great Backyard Bird Count for helpful tips and hints on bird counting/watching/identifying.

Elephant trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, nature trips, and bird watching. There will be plenty to see as we hike along this beautiful trail through the woods.  This trail tends to be muddy and proper footwear is encouraged.
