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!
Location: Payson Park House in Inwood Hill Park
Registration not required.
Join the Urban Park Rangers for a guided walk through Lenapehoking, the ancestral homeland of the Lenape. Explore the landscape’s Indigenous history, seasonal ecology, and the traditions that continue to shape New York City today.
