Join renowned naturalist, Ken Chaya, to discover the wonders of nature in Morningside Park. As October arrives, migration continues in the skies above us. Songbirds are still passing through and feeding and resting in our parks and green spaces. Larger birds such as Hawks join them in their passage South. We will scan the skies for migrant species of Hawks as well as check the usual perches for our neighborhood Red-tail Hawk pair that successfully nested on the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. We will also look for Turtles along the shoreline to see if they are still sunning themselves before the Winter drives them down to the bottom of the pond. A variety of late-blooming flowers are still attracting insects and we will what kinds of Butterflies, Bees, and Flies can be seen drinking nectar.

Children must be accompanied by an adult, be prepared to walk, and wear closed-toe shoes. Binoculars are recommended but not required. There are no rain dates. Only in the case of heavy rain or thunderstorms will the event be rescheduled.

This program is underwritten by The Morningside Park Conservancy. Tickets are Free but we ask you to register so we are adequately staffed. We look forward to seeing you in the Park!
