Check Out NYC Audubon March Events!

March is a great time to get out and meet the birds of New York City. Our year-round friends are out, and their migrating cousins are on their way back. NYC Audubon has excellent resources to help you get started. On their Birding Resources pages, you can find profiles of over 100 New York City parks, Birding 101 tips, and more.

You can join local guided bird outings with the NYC Audubon. Explore one of the City’s parks with an expert guide to marvel at the hundreds of species of birds that frequent our urban landscape.  

NYC Audubon Members get exclusive access to special members-only outings, advance registration on their popular outings and classes, including those listed below, and a 30% discount on fee-based programs.

And don’t forget that the NYC Audubon is now accepting applications for the 2024 Artists in Residence on Governors Island cohort. This opportunity offers two local artists space, resources, and opportunities to work with like-minded experts. The selected artists will learn about birds and wildlife conservation in the context of the City’s unique urban natural space and through public engagement. The program runs May-October 2024. Each artist will receive a stipend of $750. You can find out more information and apply here.
