Bird Watching with Birding Bob

Bird Watching Group
Explore the Park through the beauty of birds with Birding Bob.
Join up with Birding Bob and crew for a fun bird walk through some lesser-known areas in Central Park. This walk is led by native New Yorker, Robert Candido, PhD, an expert on flora, fauna, and birds in NYC. The quintessential New Yorker has been leading groups for over 25 years and welcomes "newbies" and experts, alike.
On the weekends, there are two tour start times of 7:30 AM and 9:30 AM. If you start at 7:30, you can continue through the 9:30 session for free. The walk finishes around 12:00 noon and guests can feel free to depart at any time. Bathrooms are passed along the walk.
Cost: $10 per person, pay at start of tour. Binoculars are available to rent for $10, but let them know the night before by email if you are interested in renting binoculars.
