2015 Fall Birding List of Sightings

Over the last few years, we have cultivated a relationship with the NYC Audubon, resulting in biweekly Birding Tours of the park during migration. We've been delighted as our Audubon Guide Gabriel Willowteaches us about the avian life of NYC, and helps us spot some of these magnificent creatures up close. Now Gabriel shares his experiences in the park.

This ovenbird got its name because their nests are shaped like old-fashioned outdoor dome ovens.
