Embark on an avian adventure with Hannah Kirshenbaum from NYC Queer Birders on this special family bird walk during our EagleFest® celebrations. Learn all about the different traits and behaviors that make bald eagles so special as you search the skies and trees for eagles and other winter birds. Ages five and older welcome with an adult. 

A limited number of binoculars, monoculars and walking sticks are available to borrow at the Perkins Visitor Center. 

Registration not required. Severe weather cancels.
