Spring Bird Migration in Northeastern PA: A Season of Color and Song

The last few weeks in May have filled Northeastern Pennsylvania with vibrant color and song as spring bird migration reaches its peak across the region’s forests, fields, and waterways. Birders and nature photographers are flocking to local favorites like Frances Slocum State Park and Covington Park, chasing those brilliant bursts of color and we’ve been there to catch the action, too.

While birding in NEPA is rewarding year-round, spring stands out for its nonstop activity and vibrant colors. Now’s the perfect time to lace up your boots, hit the trails, and see what colorful surprises are waiting for you. Whether you’re a seasoned birder or a newcomer who is simply curious, Northeastern PA offers a front-row seat to one of nature’s most spectacular shows.

Check out some of our spring bird migration highlights below!
