Walks and Talks for Birders at any Level

With New York City Audubon and the American Littoral Society Annual Jamaica Bay Shorebird Festival One of the most exciting natural spectacles that you can see from Jamaica Bay is the annual shorebird migration.  Having left their breeding grounds in the arctic, many shorebirds are on a journey to warmer climes in Central and South America.  We like to think that Jamaica bay Wildlife Refuge is one of their favorite stops along the way. Come learn more about these incredible animals at our annual Jamaica Bay Shorebird Festival, taking place Saturday, August 26. Jamaica Bay Shorebird Festival Saturday, August 26 9AM - 5PM Join us for a day of indoor and outdoor programs.
