Birding Tours

Discover the surprising diversity of birds that call Bryant Park home

Discover the surprising diversity of birds that call Bryant Park home during migratory season with guided tours by NYC Audubon, led by environmental educator and urban naturalist Gabriel Willow. Located in the heart of Midtown, Bryant Park is a hotspot for avian visitors and birders alike. Past sightings include warblers, tanagers, vireos, thrushes, and even a Chuck-will’s-widow!

Tours will take place on Mondays at 8am and Thursdays at 5pm during fall migration season. Meet at Heiskell Plaza, near the corner of 6th Avenue and 42nd Street. No pre-registration is required.
