This website is hosted by Dr. Robert DeCandido, PhD, better known around Central Park as "Birding Bob." Bob leads guided walks along with Deb Allen, a noted New York City bird and nature photographer. We invite you to join us to watch and study the more than 100 species of birds that either live year-round in Central Park, winter here, or visit New York City during the spring and fall migrations.
We currently offer two Central Park walks per week:
* 9:00 a.m. Fridays ($5) at Conservatory Garden (105th Street and 5th Avenue)
* 9:00 a.m. Sundays ($5) at Turtle Pond Dock near 81st Street and Central Park West
* 9:00 a.m. Fridays ($5) at Conservatory Garden (105th Street and 5th Avenue)
* 9:00 a.m. Sundays ($5) at Turtle Pond Dock near 81st Street and Central Park West
Walks last approximately three hours, but you're free to leave anytime, of course. For more information on the New York Central Park bird walks, how to get to the starting points, or to join our mailing list please feel free to email us anytime.
