Focus: Explore a native pollinator meadow and memorial landscape. The fall bird event will be a rare chance to see the Naval Cemetery Landscape (NCL) in earlier morning hours (prime time for bird activity). Participants will have a chance to see many of the 79+ species that have been observed here, including some species such as chimney swifts seen year round at the landscape but rare to the Brooklyn area plus fall migrating birds.

BYOB- bring your own binoculars! (some will be available on site to borrow for the walk)

This event is free but please make sure to register/get a ticket for each attending member.
