About this Event

New York City is a major migratory crossroads for birds. Every spring and fall, millions pass through the city on journeys across the hemisphere, seeking refuge in our parks and cemeteries and bringing dazzling color and sound to those who watch them. More than 400 species of birds have been identified in New York City. But what makes New York an important stop for migrating birds? Where do they land? And what challenges do they face? Join journalist Ryan Goldberg, author of Bird City: Adventures in New York's Urban Wilds, for a conversation about how birds and birders are shaping this city, including places like Green-Wood.

Ryan Goldberg is an award-winning journalist who has written for The New York Times, Texas Monthly, ProPublica, The Intercept, National Geographic, and Popular Science, among many others. He lives in Brooklyn, which is where he began birding in 2016.
