EagleFest: Birding Spotting Station

Winter migration is upon us! Learn all about the bald eagle and its winter migration as we celebrate Teatown Hudson River EagleFest®, an annual celebration of bald eagle winter migration along the Hudson River. Keep watch with Hannah Kirshenbaum of NYC Queer Birders and fellow birding enthusiasts to spot bald eagles and other birds of prey soaring over the Hudson River. Pop indoors to our warming station in Armor Hall for a hot cup of cocoa and observe smaller birds at the birdfeeders right outside the windows. 

Birders of all ages and skill levels are welcome! A limited number of monoculars and binoculars will be available to borrow at the Spotting Station. Pick up a special EagleFest® passport and continue your birding journey north along the Hudson River to other viewing locations or to Croton Point Park for the main event. 

Stop by The Shop to check out a selection of bird books, toys, and gifts. The Café at Wave Hill is open all day with lunch, drinks, and snacks for purchase. 

The Wave Hill free shuttle is available hourly to and from the Riverdale Metro North station and the #1 train 242nd Street Station.
