Inwood Hill: Bald Eagle Watch

Birding: Bald Eagle Watch

Saturday, February 10, 2024

10:30 a.m.12:00 p.m.

New York City is home to an amazing abundance of wildlife. Our Urban Park Rangers will guide you to the best wildlife viewing spots. Throughout the winter, many Bald Eagles from upstate will fly south to NYC to hunt along the open, unfrozen sections of the Hudson River. On our walk we will hopefully be able to observe some of these mighty raptors soaring above the river or perched along the forest scouring for fish to prey upon!
