Spring Bird Walk - June 8

Catch the spring migration! Join Nelson Rodriguez for a morning of birdwatching at Untermyer Gardens on this 90-minute bird walk: Sunday, June 8 at 8:30 a.m. beginning before the garden is open to the public, when the birds are likely to be very active. In addition to our year-round residents, we will encounter birds on their spring migration. We may see finches, sparrows, warblers, and others. This walk is appropriate for beginners and experienced birdwatchers.

Bring your own binoculars (8 x 42 are the best for birding but others can work). Dress appropriately for the weather. We will be walking on uneven ground, flights of stairs, grass, gravel, and woodchip paths, so WEAR STURDY SHOES. Consider wearing a hat and sunscreen and bringing water with you.

Your guide, Nelson A. Rodriguez, has been birding since he was a student at Montclair State University and continues to practice bird photography, which can be seen on his Instagram page @birdnerd1001 and the eastern bluebird pictured here.
