    Laurel Hill is the nation's first garden cemetery, and who could be more welcome visitors to a garden than birds? The group will walk through this beautiful park-like landscape overlooking the Schuylkill River, while you learn about its history, and try to identify as many birds as possible. Near the end of migration season, you may still find some temporary visitors, as well as permanent residents and those who reside here for the whole summer. The first birding program to be held at the site, we will pool our knowledge and findings to begin a list of the Birds of Laurel Hill Cemetery. Share your knowledge or just enjoy nature all around you in the midst of the city. Bring binoculars. Bird book, notepad and pen are optional. Torrential rain cancels the program; drizzle does not.
