Bird ID Walk with Larry Federman
Saturday, May 27,  8:00 am - 10:00 am
Cost of Admission: Members free, suggested donation of $10 for non-menbers.

Larry Federman is a former Audubon Society Education Coordinator and President of the local Audubon Chapter, Northern Catskills Audubon. Larry leads our annual guided tour through the Arboretum’s bird-rich habitats. We’ll look for warblers, bluebirds and other migrating birds as they build their nests and start families or pass through to their northern nesting sites. This time of year offers one of the best opportunities to see beautiful North American birds. Bring binoculars, boots, attentive eyes and ears. Register inside the Education Center.

This is an in-person, outdoor program. No advance registration is required for this event.
