Farm Fields and Feathered Friends: Birding at Lundale Farm

October is a fun time to bird on the farm. The mornings are crisp, the birds are active, and the scenery is lovely. Join Valley Forge Audubon Society for an October mosey through this working farm’s mix of open fields, hedgerows, woodlots, and riparian areas — a mosaic that reliably attracts both resident birds and the last push of southbound migrants.

This is a great outing for beginning as well as experienced birders, photographers, and those looking to learn more about regenerative farming practices, and the pace of the walk will be relaxed enough for participants of all experience levels to enjoy the morning.

Please bring binoculars if you have them - the leaders will have a couple of pairs available to loan out. Children (accompanied by an adult) are always welcome at Valley Forge Audubon Society events. A portable toilet is available on site.

Lundale Farm is a community of regenerative farmers who work to enhance the ecology, health, and diversity of the land. Because the farm is sustainably managed, it not only provides fresh local food for consumers but also provides excellent habitat in which birds can thrive. Please note that Lundale Farm is private property and access is by permission only or for special events such as this one. For more information, visit Home - Lundale Farm.
