On December 17, TTF hosted our final 2011 Love Your Watershed Event in Tacony Creek Park. A great group of community members came out to learn about the watershed, look for birds, and enjoy the brisk December morning.
Dan Efroymson led a group of people to look for birds along a section of the Tacony Creek. We learned about bird calls and silhouettes, both useful ways to help identify birds. Highlights of the walk included a Red-shouldered Hawk, Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, Eastern Towhee, and Dark-eyed Juncos. TTF will submit a list of sightings to the Wyncote Audubon Society to be included in their compilation for this year.

Everyone enjoyed playing with PWD Spokesdog, Teddie!

Thanks to everyone who came out! Love Your Watershed events will resume in the spring — we hope to see you then!
