Taking Flight: Birding In the Catskills


  • Winter Clove Inn 557 Winter Clove Road Route Top, NY 12473 (map)

Hosted by the Catskill Center, Arkville NY

I’ll be presenting about Slow Birding and leading a guided sit spot session during the festival.


The Catskill Mountains offer superb birding experiences, especially in the spring, due to the abundance of breeding pairs that benefit from and take advantage of our vast tracts of protected forested land, along with our clean air and water. Local experts annually guide our field trips and are impressive in both their knowledge of birds and their attention to participants. Field trips provide access to locally known hot spots for birding. Multiple hike locations will be offered throughout the weekend.

Theme this year is Flocking Together: Building an Inclusive Birding Community

Keynote will be from Martha Harbison and other members of the Feminist Bird Club
