Popular Birding Spots

Big Woods Trail

This trail has outstanding grasslands on one side and slopes down to woodlands on the other side. It is a popular trail for dog walkers, runners, and cyclists. In the spring, this trail is birded for two reasons: chats and Prairie Warblers, and lots of them.

Hay Creek

All around, it is a good general birding site. It is not usually birded in the winter and generally under birded. For years, the specialty here was the bank swallow at the quarry sand mounds

Union Meadows Park

Probably the most popular birding spot in Eastern Berks County. In the early spring, this is a reliable place for Rusty Blackbirds, and as warblers move in, chats and Prairie Warblers are regular.
