The Registrar will work with participants without a vehicle to organize rides and share the suggested carpool fee for the driver. This usually works out, but we can not guarantee a ride without enough volunteer drivers.Meeting Point: After your registration is confirmed, the Registrar will share directions, the exact meeting place, and time with attendees.Schedule: Half-day trip, with an early start time.Relative Difficulty: After arrival, expect to walk about two miles on paved and unpaved paths with some moderate inclines.Trip Description: Rockefeller State Park Preserve, situated on rolling hills above the Hudson River in Westchester County, covers 1,700+ acres and offers 55 miles of trails through diverse habitats. The forests, fields, streams, and wetlands support a high diversity of native species of birds, mammals, insects and other species. It has been designated an Important Bird Area because of intact forests supporting Wood Thrush, Worm-eating Warbler, and other forest nesters. However, it is the hillside understory presence of Japanese Angelica with its September berries that draws warbler and vireo concentrations at this time of year, with a ridgeline raptor flight adding to fall birding. Over 200 species of birds have been recorded in the park.\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, September 15.
