Bird Walk in Central Park

Time: 9 am - Noon

We'll meet on the southeast corner of 81st Street and
Central Park West on the park side entering the Park
directly and taking in what wildlife may be in evidence
along the way. Dependent on what we find we'll visit
Tanner Spring, the Shakespeare Garden, pass by Belvedere
Castle and head into the Ramble. Much will depend on what
we find and where we find it. It will still be migration
season so we should find many young birds and some late
wildflowers. There's a chance for some early migrants
heading south.

Please dress comfortably and bring water and a snack and,
if possible, binoculars. If you are new to birding, you
will be given a few pointers abour using binoculars and
doing birding.

Our tour guide, Randolph Schutz has been birding since the
1980's. Trained as a pediatritian, he quickly moved into
psychiatry, then psychotherapy, and currently works as a
coach. He writes poety, speaks French, paints watercolors,
is fascinated by the workings of the human mind, entranced
by everything living and loves birds, though when there's
an interesting plant around he'll head for that, too. He
has birded extensively around the metropolitan area, birds
Central Park regularly and frequently, and has led both
formal and informal birding groups for years. He birds in
all seasons and most weathers, and while he loves unusual
birds he's been known to be hypnotized by titmice and
sparrows.

The walk is free to members; and $5 for all others.

Please RSVP
