Birds! Birds! Birds!
This event has been cancelled.
Ages 6-12 Registration required and will open May 12 @ 10am
Bird-watching is a delightful life-long hobby where you…watch birds! Join Hannah from NYC Queer Birders as they teach you about common NYC birds, the habitats they live in, and how to find them. We’ll learn how to use binoculars, look for a few birds in the Greenpoint Library gardens (weather permitting), and do some fun crafting activities. Birding is an activity that you can take with you wherever you go! Come join us!
About the Presenter:
Hannah Kirshenbaum is an avid birder and lifelong lover of the natural world. In 2020 they founded NYC Queer Birders as a way to cultivate community and explore the natural world of New York City with LGBTQIA+ bird-lovers. Through all the seasons, Hannah leads educational birding events in all 5 boroughs and beyond. They love to welcome all bird enthusiasts, regardless of experience. Hannah's favorite bird is a Ruby-crowned kinglet because they are so adorable and you're lucky if you get to see their ruby crown because it's only visible on occasion!
