A low-intensity paddle on Newtown Creek focusing on finding the birds! Binoculars will be provided, or bring your own.

On this last summer Friday, 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. With the lowering tide, it could be a great chance to see shore birds.


Check back for more Friday birdwatching trips!
