Join the Lower East Side Ecology Center for a guided Spring Bird Walk at East River Park on the Lower East Side. This in-person walk will explore the park’s waterfront paths, lawns, and planted areas as spring migration brings birds back to New York City. Led by an experienced birder, participants will learn how to spot and identify common species such as warblers, sparrows, and swallows while discussing the importance of urban green spaces for wildlife. We will make several stops along the route to observe birds, listen to calls, and talk about the role of stewardship in maintaining healthy habitats.
Please wear comfortable walking shoes and bring water. Binoculars and cameras are encouraged if you have them. The walk will move at a relaxed pace and is suitable for beginners and experienced birders alike.
