A low-intensity paddle on Newtown Creek focusing on finding the birds! Binoculars will be provided, or bring your own. Meet at the yard: 4 PM On the water: 4:30 Back for cleanup: 7:30 Bring water, and dress for the water (no cotton!). We'll head up the creek possibly all the way to the end and look for black-crowned night heron, blue heron, cormorants, swans, and other local and migratory birds.
Some of the birdwatching trips will also have tree-identification lessons from Sophie, NBBC's resident tree wrangler!
This is the last Friday afternoon birdwatching paddle of the summer! But check back for more birdwatching trips in September.
For images from other birdwatching paddles, see the Paddle Gallery!
Trip leaders: Willis and/or Patterson
