Hudson River Audubon
Society of Westchester
2010
Outdoor activities such as birding and hiking with a group are a
wonderful way to share your interests with like-minded people to learn more about nature, and to enjoy many preserves and natural areas.
Hudson River Audubon Society field trips are free. Non-members/
newcomers are welcome and are encouraged to join us as members ($20 introductory offer).
Bring binoculars and field guides if you have them. Some are available for loan for those
who need them. Dress appropriately for the weather. For more information call Michael Bochnik at (914)
237-9331.
Directions for most trips can be found
below.

Owl Prowl
Meet at Pelham Bay Park, Bronx at 8:00 AM (north east corner, or far left as you enter the large parking lot)
Pelham Bay Park offers you the best chance to see up to four or more species of owls. Great Horned owls may be nesting and both Saw-whet and Long-eared Owls may be hiding in the pines. Barn and Barred Owls are occasionally found as well. The park holds many half-hardies in winter such as Brown Thrasher, Gray Catbird and Hermit Thrush. Fox Sparrows are usually found easily in the woods.
Views of the Sound should yield a variety of ducks, loon and grebes. We’ll travel to the southern area of the park where the stadium lights host huge Monk Parakeet nests, and a walk to the base of the old landfill may yield a variety of sparrows in the fields and raptors patrolling the dump for a meal.
We will also have a friendly cupcake bakeoff as well. Taste some of the best cupcakes around and vote for the best.
