Learn the keys to identifying the spectacular variety of birds that migrate through New York City every spring. Even if you've never picked up a pair of binoculars, you’ll soon be identifying warblers, thrushes, waterbirds, and more—both by sight and by ear. Three fun and educational in-person class sessions and birding outings in Central Park and Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge. 

Binoculars available upon request. $128 for NYC Audubon members, $184 for non-members. Limited to 12 people.
