Fall Migration Bird Walks in the Vale

There is no better time of year to enjoy the wonders of Prospect Park than in the fall, when foliage turns and the park is a hotspot for the migration of birds to warmer climates.

Join noted birdwatcher Tom Stephenson with the Brooklyn Bird Club to observe birds and other wildlife in the Prospect Park Vale, an important bird area and woodland landscape that is the focus of upcoming restoration efforts by Prospect Park Alliance, the non-profit that sustains the park in partnership with the city.

The walk will meet at Grand Army Plaza, near the Stranahan Statue. Please bring your own binoculars to the walk.

Learn more about the Alliance’s plans for the Vale on our website: prospectpark.org/vale.
