I lead a free BirdWalk on the first Saturday of each month to a local nature area. Each month we visit a different area. Everyone is welcome. These walks attract a group of very nice people, people interested in birds and nature. The walks are good for people with all levels of birding skill.
Some months we attract 20+ birders, others, less than 10. No one joins our walk every month, but join us when they can. Last year (2010) if you had joined all of our walks you would have seen 118 species of birds, everything from hummingbirds to Bald Eagle. This year we are on track to beat that number.
We meet at the Wild Bird Center promptly at 8:00 a.m. for carpooling to our target location. Or, I provide driving direction, for those who prefer to meet us there. Walks usually last for 1.5-2 hours, but sometimes individuals have to leave earlier, sometimes we stay longer. We are very flexible. It is a good way to start a day, and there is plenty of time afterwards to do all the things you have to do.
We are not hard core, competitive birders. Our primary objective is to have an enjoyable morning stroll in a natural setting.
OCTOBER BIRDWALK: This Saturday, October 1, is the first Saturday of the month. We will be going to nearby Harts Brook Park on Ridge Road in Hartsdale.
Join us for one of these First Saturday walks. Bring binoculars or borrow one of our “loaners”. And plan on having an enjoyable time.
