Family Birdwatching

Winter is an ideal time to catch up with some colorful neighbors: the birds in Prospect Park. The lack of foliage makes for easy viewing, and the cold months often bring some impressive visitors, like owl species that fly south for better feeding. Every month the Prospect Park Alliance offers these free tours, which begin with a lesson in how to use binoculars. Then naturalists lead the walk, helping to identify some of the park’s 250 species of avian residents.
