CANCELLED – Middle Creek Winter Bird Walk
12/26/25 UPDATE: The Winter Bird Walk scheduled for 10:30 a.m. tomorrow at Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area is being cancelled out of an abundance of caution. With icy conditions expected overnight and freezing temperatures predicted to persist into late morning, we don’t want to compromise participant safety with a hike on untreated surfaces.
Join Lancaster County Bird Club for a field-based complement to our Dec. 10 lecture on the Christmas Bird Count. This field trip offers a hands-on birding experience that will allow participants to explore Middle Creek’s winter landscape and observe the season’s local bird species while gaining insight into the process of counting birds for the CBC. Whether you’re a seasoned birder or new to birding and CBCs, this outing offers a unique opportunity to connect with nature and learn how birding data is collected in the field each year for this citizen-science survey. No pre-registration is necessary for this trip.
NOTE: The lecture associated with this field trip will be held on Dec. 10 at 6:30 p.m. in the Visitor Center at Middle Creek. Participants are strongly encouraged to attend both events, but attendance at both events is not required.
Location: Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area Visitor Center, 100 Museum Road, Stevens, PA 17578
