An inspiration to many, Starr led walks for nearly forty years and taught her birding skills and techniques to many Linnaean Society and NYC Audubon members. This walk will follow her traditional paths through the North End of Central Park and teach her fundamental principles, including how to describe the location of a bird and her famous mantra, “Please don’t point at the birds!”\n\n\n\nJeffrey Kimball, the producer and director of Birders: The Central Park Effect, a documentary film that included conversations with Starr, will lead the walk. Jeff is also the former President of the Board of NYC Audubon.\n\n\n\nPlease read T ( https://www.linnaeannewyork.org/wp-content/uploads/PDF/LSNY-COVID-19-Guidelines-2021-06-20.pdf )he Linnaean Society of New York COVID-19 Field Trip Guidelines ( https://www.linnaeannewyork.org/covid-19-field-trip-guidelines/ ) before registering.\n\n\n\nRegistration: Registration opens at 9 am on Monday, April 21.
