Birding in Green-Wood Cemetery

October 20, 2012

GreenWoodCemetery

Amid the ornate tombstones and mausoleums of Green-Wood Cemetery lives a diverse community of birds. Join Museum ornithologist Paul Sweet on a birding excursion to this historic Brooklyn cemetery. Catch sight of fall migrants such as Ruby-crowned Kinglets and Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers in the trees or a local Red-tailed Hawk hunting in the old burial grounds, and learn about the unique colony of Monk Parakeets residing at the cemetery’s main gate.
