Join NYC Bird Alliance and Young Conservationist Council member Ryan Mandelbaum and get to know the fall bird migrants of “Brooklyn's Backyard,” beautiful Prospect Park. The meadows, forests, and waterways of Prospect Park attract a dazzling variety of migratory birds on their way south, including warblers, tanagers, cuckoos, and more. 

The group will meet just inside the park at Grand Army Plaza (between Flatbush Avenue and East Drive) at the Stranahan Statue. Registration not required but encouraged. No limit. Free.
