Despite being surrounded by one of the largest urban areas in the world, Central Park is one of the most famous spots for birdwatching, with over 200 species that live in or migrate through each year. Located along the Atlantic Flyway, Central Park has habitats for waterfowl, warblers, birds of prey, and of course pigeons. Join us for a science walk in the park and hear from scientists that study birds, their habitats and behaviors in a unique opportunity to explore the vibrant avian life that thrives in one of New York City’s most iconic green spaces. Encounter a variety of species that find sanctuary within the park’s greenery, uncover intriguing insights about their life cycles and ecosystems, and learn about the critical role of preservation efforts. Bring your own binoculars (we will have some loaner pairs available) as well as your curiosity, and don’t miss out on this enchanting exploration of feathers, flights, and the fine details that make our feathered friends so extraordinary!
