Important Bird Areas
Peace Valley Park
Peace Valley Park is owned and operated by Bucks County and consists of a large lake (Lake Galena) surrounded by a mix of woodland, grassland, and successional habitats.
A hotspot for migrant waterfowl in spring and fall, Peace Valley also hosts a wide variety of landbirds during all seasons. A heavily-birded area, the park often hosts rarities that attract even more birding attention.
