The Refuge is home to a variety of wildlife despite its urban location.
Birdwatchers have recorded over 300 species of birds in and around the
Refuge. Migratory birds like warbers, egrets, sandpipers, and a
large variety of ducks, within the Atlantic Flyway, use the refuge as
a resting/feeding spot during spring and fall flights. In addition,
deer, opossums, fox, raccoons, muskrats and many other small animals take
refuge here. The marsh is one of the few places in Pennsylvania
where the state-endangered red-bellied turtle and southern leopard frog
can be found. |
