Join NYC Bird Alliance (formerly NYC Audubon) bird guide Russell Jacobs at Staten Island's beloved Snug Harbor. This botanical garden and cultural center is sure to be teeming with avian visitors during fall migration.

The group will meet at the first parking lot off of Harbor Road (Cottage Row, Staten Island, NY 10301). Registration not required but encouraged. No limit. Free.

Accessibility and Directions:

Snug Harbor's main paths are paved and smooth, although some garden paths may be uneven and steep. Restrooms open on the weekends can be found on the bottom floor of building G (Shinbone Alley). Snug Harbor is accessible via the S40 and S44 buses from Ferry Terminal. The garden also contains four parking lots. For more information, you can visit Snug Harbor's website.
