About this Event
We will meet at the picnic benches just north of the Picnic House - 40 West Dr, Brooklyn, NY (40°39'56.9"N 73°58'16.7"W)
A leisurely outing through Prospect Park for birders and nature lovers of all backgrounds and experiences- no birding experience necessary!
We'll meander east through some of the park, listening and looking for woodpeckers, sparrows, raptors, and more. Wildflowers such as goldenrods and asters have faded and will be going to seed, and we’ll enjoy some fall colors along the way. We may reach the lake, where we'll study the waterfowl and gulls. The route may change depending on bird activity and conditions. Please feel free to depart early if needed!
Accessibility: We will stick to paved roads as much as possible. There may be some slight inclines, declines or uneven surfaces due to exposed roots or plants, but we will try to stick to paved surfaces as much as possible. We will also take breaks and can rest as needed, and there may be benches along the way.
There are bathrooms at the meeting place, and some portapotties along the way. For a list of all Prospect Park public bathrooms, please visit their website.
*If you would like to borrow a pair of binoculars, please contact us at least 24hrs before the event.
Land acknowledgement: We recognize and appreciate that Prospect Park lies on land that has been stewarded by generations of the Canarsie and Munsee Lenape People. Today many of their descendants live in and around NYC and the Northeast.
