The Chester, Ridley, and Crum watersheds host a great variety of birdlife and mid-May is peak
time for spring migration. CRC Executive Director Brian Byrnes will be conducting a “big day” to
see how many bird species can be found in the Chester, Ridley, and Crum watersheds in a
single day and support CRC’s programs. You are welcome to join Brian for two legs of his
journey: a morning walk at Ridley Creek State Park or an evening walk at Kirkwood Preserve, or
support the Birding Blitz with a donation to CRC. These will be relatively fast-paced walks in
order to find as many species as possible in a short time period. Birders of all experience levels
are welcome.
