It's Clappy Hour with Feminist Bird Club. Let's go look for some Clapper Rail!

For more info and to RSVP, please visit EventBrite!

Get ready to meet your new favorite bird. The Clapper Rail, one of the “secretive marsh birds” that inhabit wetlands across the hemisphere, can be tough to find in New York City unless you know where to go and know what you’re looking and listening for. Join Clapper Rail enthusiasts Jen and Martha for a jaunt through Marine Park Salt Marsh to try to find these amazing chicken-like birds with jaunty little tail feathers! In addition to Clapper Rail, we could also see and hear Ring-necked Pheasant, Black-crowned Night-Heron, Marsh Wren, Boat-tailed Grackle, American Oystercatcher, and possibly even a Red-headed Woodpecker!

Note: Space on the trails at the salt marsh can be limited. As such, we ask that only registered participants come to this event. If you register, and then realize that you can’t come, please cancel your EventBrite order so we can open up spots for the waiting list!

Remember! A Donation Ticket is still a ticket! You don't need to get a separate ticket if you opt to donate to this event.

Accessibility Notes: Marine Park Salt Marsh and surrounding areas are mostly flat and paved, are boardwalk, or are compressed gravel walkway. Facilities are somewhat limited but there are Port-a-Pots on site. You’ll want to bring water and a snack and wear comfortable shoes. The area can get buggy and there is very little tree cover in the marsh, so insect repellent and sun protection are highly recommended.
