We will be a small group and try to do some quiet ear birding to hear better birds passing by overhead or hiding in nearby bushes. The trip will last two to four hours.\n\n\n\nImportant Note: The number of housed and unhoused people on the island has increased. In particular, pedestrians accessing the park from the 103rd Street Bridge will likely encounter a tent city. We recommend that everyone bird in groups, stay alert to their surroundings at all times, and only sign up for the trip if they feel comfortable.\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 1.
