Learn the keys to identifying the spectacular variety of birds that migrate through New York City every fall. 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. The course includes three educational in-person classes and birding outings in Central Park and Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge. 

Binoculars available upon request. $140 for NYC Audubon members, $200 for non-members. Limited to 12 people.
