We will stand in the same spot at sunset for a while waiting for the Nighthawks. It will be fairly dark outside by the end of the walk.Trip Description: This walk series is aimed at the after-work crowd, but anyone is welcome to join us! Central Park is one of the world’s premier birding spots, and we hope to take advantage of the beautiful fall weather to look for some migrants. We are targeting dusk at sunset in mid-September which is usually a fairly reliable time to spot some nighthawks, but we make no guarantees! The walk will start around 5:30 pm and we will bird for 1-2 hours before heading to a local bar just after sunset for some casual conversations and libations.\n\n\n\nRegistration: Registration opens at 9 am on Monday, September 7.
