The Wissahickon Waterfowl Preserve is just off of Maple Road, one of the main roads in Ambler. This is a fantastic place to look for birds for the lake is actually fenced off so that they (and other animals) can live in peace, uninterrupted by people. This means that you sometimes might see birds that you don't typically see in a suburban area like Ambler. Although it can be a little hard to see over the fencing, there are gaps and viewpoints with platforms available for you to better be able to see the birds.
