Virtual Workshop: Thursday, October 10, 7:00-8:30 PM

Bird Outing: Saturday, October 12, 1:00-4:00 PM

Sparrows are one of the most challenging groups of birds to identify, yet beautiful and fascinating once they can be distinguished. Learn to identify those LBJs (little brown jobs) by studying behavior, field marks, and songs, and then enjoy a second session in the “classroom” of Central Park. Sparrow species seen in prior years include Field, Swamp, Savannah, White-crowned, and Lincoln's.

Registration required. $35 for NYC Bird Alliance (formerly NYC Audubon) members, $52 for non-members. Limited to 15. 

Accessibility and Directions:

Central Park generally contains paved and unpaved paths of varying inclines, but we will stick to paths most comfortable for everyone.
