Cumulative Species Listing

This 34 acre park offers visitors fantastic opportunities for bird watching and wildlife viewing.  Upland and lowland forests, fields, tidal wetlands, and the open water of the Rancocas Creek all overlap in this relatively small area to create a haven for all types of birds and other wildlife.

As you follow the footpaths and boardwalks through the diverse habitats, be sure to have binoculars and a camera to photograph the many birds, butterflies and other animals.  The bird blinds and observation platforms allow visitors to observe wildlife without disturbance.  In addition to over 30 resident species of birds, one can see an incredible diversity of avian life in the changing seasons.  Various species of waterfowl, wading birds, and ospreys are visible from the boardwalks along the creek.  Migratory songbirds including warblers, vireos, flycatchers, and tanagers can be seen along the forest and field edge in the spring.  Look for birds of prey circling overhead as you walk through the fields that were once part of a peach orchard.   Numerous species of mammals, reptiles, amphibians, butterflies and moths call Boundary Creek home.  Please be respectful of this environment.
