Fall Bird Walk -October 11

Catch the fall migration! Join local bird guide Michael Bochnik for a morning of birdwatching at Untermyer Gardens
About this Event

This 90-minute bird walk begins at 8:30 a.m., before the garden is open to the public, when the birds are likely to be very active. In addition to our year-round residents, we will encounter birds here for the summer and some who have begun their fall migration. We may see hawks, finches, sparrows, warblers, and others. This walk is appropriate for beginners and experienced birdwatchers.

Bring your own binoculars (8 x 42 are the best for birding but others can work). We may have a few binoculars to share. Dress appropriately for the weather. We will be walking on uneven ground, flights of stairs, grass, gravel, and woodchip paths, so WEAR STURDY SHOES. Consider wearing a hat and sunscreen and bringing water with you.

Your guide, Michael Bochnik, is a Yonkers resident and expert on local birds and butterflies. He leads frequent bird walks in Westchester County and lower Hudson Valley for Hudson River Audubon Society, and also serves as president. Hudson River Audubon maintains a butterfly garden at Lenoir Preserve just up the street from Untermyer Gardens, which is free and open to the public.
