LIBERTY BIRD ALLIANCE

The Liberty Bird Alliance is a chapter of the National Audubon Society that serves members and friends throughout Philadelphia and major portions of Montgomery County

Upcoming Events with Liberty Bird Alliance

September is one of the most exciting times of year to be out birding. As summer residents begin heading south and fall migrants move through the Philadelphia region, local parks, preserves, and green spaces can become busy with birds.



Liberty Bird Alliance has several opportunities to get outside this month, explore local birding hotspots, and connect with fellow birders. Whether you're an experienced birder or just beginning to discover the world of birds, we hope you'll join us in the field!

• Visit libertybirdalliance.org/events/ for complete event details and registration information.
