Through May 31, 2013
Observe the vibrant spring migration of birds in Central Park with ornithologists Paul Sweet (Tuesdays and Fridays) and Joseph DiCostanzo (Wednesdays and Thursdays). Learn how to use field marks, habitat, behavior, and song as aids in identification. Birder field cards included. Groups meet once a week and there are four available sessions, each on a specific weekday.
All birdwalks start across from the Museum on the northeast corner of Central Park West and 77th Street. Walks are limited to 15 people per series. Be sure to bring a pair of binoculars, and wear comfortable shoes. Please note: These walks are more than an hour long, with steps, slopes and wood-chip paths.
For more information, call the AMNH Bird Walk Hotline at 212-313-7579.
