Are you curious about bird watching, but don’t know the first thing about how to do it? Or have you ever been on a birding field trip and said to yourself “this stuff is for the birds,” meaning I’m not seeing what everybody else is seeing! Or maybe you’re thinking “I can’t see anything through these binoculars,” etc.

Well, now you can join Tom Damiani on “small group” field trips with a focus on effectively using binoculars, finding birds using them, and finding the best habitats for birds.

These outings will be held on the first Wednesday of each month, at Downs Farm Preserve from 8 - 10am.

The Berries for Birds garden will be dedicated in honor of the late Rick Kedenburg whose extraordinary volunteer service and generous support made this garden possible. We are grateful for his years of commitment to North Fork Audubon Society!

Following the dedication, we will tour the garden with Board Members of the Landscaping Committee.

This is an all-day trip, please pack your own lunch. Meet at Staples Parking Lot in Riverhead at 8:00am, from there we will carpool to Jamaica Bay and arrive around 10am. We will be birding both East and West Ponds and then have a lunch break. After lunch we will head over to Fort Tilden where we expect to see migrating raptors. We hope to see ducks, passerines, some shorebirds, and migrating monarch butterflies. At the end of the day we will have dinner in Howard Beach before heading back. We should be arriving back in Riverhead by 8pm.
