Spring Bird Walk - April 19

Catch the spring migration! Join Michael Bochnik for a morning of birdwatching at Untermyer Gardens on this 90-minute walk.

Local birding expert Michael Bochnik leads this walk on Sunday, April 19 at 8:30 a.m. before the garden is open to the public and the birds are likely to be very active. In addition to our year-round residents, we will encounter birds on their spring migration. We may see 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). 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, leads frequent bird walks in Westchester County and lower Hudson Valley for Hudson River Audubon Society, which he also serves as president. He coordinates the Bronx-Westchester Christmas Bird Count, an annual citizen-science project sponsored by National Audubon.
