SUMMARY:A Bird Walk in Central Park for Teachers: Enjoy the fall migration!
DESCRIPTION:During the Fall Migration\, a huge variety of birds stop in Central Park to rest and refuel for their journey South!\n\n\nKEY INFORMATION\n\nDate/Time: Saturday\, October 18\, from 8:45am – 12:00pm.\n(RAINDATE: Sunday\, October 19\, from 8:45am – 12:00pm)\nLocation: Within Central Park in Manhattan\, meeting at 103rd and Central Park West at the pedestrian park entrance\nWorkshop Leader: Peter Davenport (bio below)\nAppropriate for: Current/retired teachers\, educators\, administrators for any grade level.\n3hrs of CTLE credit offered\n\n  \n  \nWORKSHOP DESCRIPTION\nCalling all teachers who love birding! We invite you to join us for a morning walk in Manhattan’s Central Park\, an urban oasis for birds as well as people. Each fall\, Central Park becomes a global birding hot spot! Thousands of colorful songbirds migrating from the tropics stop in the park each day in April\, May and early June to refuel on insects before continuing north toward their breeding grounds. \nTake a leisurely walk with us through the north end of the park. While there is never a guarantee of what we will see\, expect to see flycatchers\, warblers\, thrushes\, raptors and more\, and we will search for rarities amongst them. Learn about beahviors and how to use guides\, apps\, and your eyes and ears to identify the birds we’ll see. Rain or shine the birds will be in the park\, but if it’s raining too much we will postpone. Bring walking footwear\, binoculars\, a camera with a good telephoto lens if you have one\, and water (/coffee). After an introduction\, including slides and other classroom-friendly materials\, we will start walking and watching. Don’t be late! We will set out 9:00am sharp. \nNOTE: This is a fully outdoor event. We will pass bathrooms along the way\, but please dress appropriately\, wear sunscreen and a hat\, and bring water and a snack as needed. Please do NOT bring your dog\, as that may scare birds away. Central Park has accessible bathrooms and paths\, but those paths may be uneven at times. \n  \nWORKSHOP LEADER\nPeter Davenport is a Board member of the 150-year old science-based birding group\, the Linnaean Society of New York\, and he has taught middle school science in the Bronx for 12 years.
