Birding Basics

This engaging two-day course introduces beginner birders to the why, where, how, and what of birding, building confidence and curiosity!

Birding is one of the fastest-growing hobbies in the country, and there’s no better place to enjoy it in Brooklyn than Green-Wood. This engaging two-part course introduces beginner birders to the why, where, how, and what of birding, building confidence and curiosity along the way. With more than 250 bird species living in or migrating through Green-Wood, and over 400 recorded across New York City each year, you’ll learn how to spot, identify, and better understand these fascinating creatures. The course concludes with a guided walk through the Cemetery, where you’ll put your new skills into practice and hear Green-Wood come alive with birdsong.
