Guidebook for Philadelphia
Parks & Nature
This is a fabulous wetlands and major migration point for birds. There's an eagle's nest within sight and a large deer population, in addition to a huge variety of birds. I can point you towards either the nature center and some easy walks, or a less-traveled section of the park.
