Free: Pelham Bay Park Birding with Joe McManus (1/15)

Join NYC Audubon to explore New York City's largest park. In addition to passerines and raptors, a variety of waterfowl can be found in the waters off Orchard Beach and on Hunter and Twin Islands. During low tide on sunny days, seals are usually visible!

The group will meet in the Orchard Beach parking lot, closest to the beach at the northeast corner. Scopes may come in handy if you have them. Dress with extra layers, as we will be near open water.

Registration not required. No Limit. Free.

Note on Accessibility: 

Paths in this park can get icy, covered with leaves, and hilly. However, we will avoid areas with poor footing. Public transportation to the park is possible via the 6 train and then Bx29 bus. Restrooms can be found on the north end of Orchard Beach Road. To learn more about the facilities available, as well as directions to Pelham Bay Park, please visit the NYC Parks website.
