Relative Difficulty: Expect to walk about 2-3 miles on paved and unpaved paths with some moderate inclines.

Trip Description: Central Park is one of the world’s premier birding spots, and we hope to take advantage of the longer daylight hours during peak migration to look for warblers, vireos, tanagers, and other spring migrants. The walk will start at 1:00 pm and we will search The Pool, The Loch, and other northern Central Park hot spots for migrants. Anyone is welcome to join us, this trip is open to birders of all levels!
