Come join Haley and Jeffrey as they co-lead a FBC walk through the largest park in NYC, Pelham Bay Park! We can expect to see all different types of wildlife from sea ducks and owls to mammals like white tailed deer and harbor seals.
Please dress for the weather and bring a pair of binoculars - or let us know if you need to borrow a pair.
The tickets for this walk will be by sliding scale donation. If you can afford to give more, please do. The majority of the proceeds will be donated to Outdoor Afro. If you cannot afford to make a donation at this time, please contact feministbirdclub@gmail.com for other options.
We will be meeting at the NW corner of Orchard Beach Parking lot. Map below.
