Look! Up in the sky, it’s a bird! But what kind of bird is it? Join Prospect Park Alliance and the Brooklyn Bird Club every Saturday to take a tour and learn about the magnificent array of birds that call Prospect Park home. Please note this tour leaves promptly at noon from outside the Audubon Center. Bring binoculars if you have them, otherwise, binoculars are available for loan.

Visit Prospect Park Zoo on February weekends to celebrate the festival of the new moon and animals of the Chinese Zodiac. Meet one of the tiniest rodents in the world, the Eurasian Harvest Mouse and learn how the Wildlife Conservation Society is helping animals in China and Southeast Asia. Special activities and a zodiac scavenger hunt will all be a part of the fun.

The Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) is a free, fun, and easy event that engages bird watchers of all ages nationwide. The Brooklyn Bird Club will lead Prospect Park’s GBBC contingent in an effort to count birds and create a real-time snapshot of bird populations. Sightings made during the walk will be submitted to the GBBC website and are used by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology to learn more about how birds are doing, and how to protect them and the environment we share.
