Event
Early Morning Birders at Minnewaska
Tuesday, August 25, 2026 07:00 AM - 12:00 PM
This weekly series of outings, led by Nick Martin, Park Preserve Educator, is open to birders of all experience levels. During this program, we will focus on looking for and listening for birds in the Park Preserve, though diversions to examine flowers, insects, and other natural interests are welcome. Participants should dress for the conditions, bring binoculars, water, and a snack, and they should wear hiking shoes or boots. The birding route will be determined on the day of the program. Outings may be up to five miles in distance, taking place mostly on carriage roads. Routes may also include grass-covered footpaths, which may be wet or muddy. Poor weather conditions will trigger a program cancellation. Participants will meet at the Lake Minnewaska entrance. Participants MUST arrive prior to the start of the program, but no earlier than 6:30 am. The Park Preserve gates will be locked at 7:00 am or as soon as the maximum participant limit has been reached. Late arrivals will NOT be let into the Park Preserve for the program. The total number of participants for this program is limited to 24 individuals. Meet at the Lake Minnewaska entrance. For questions, please call the Lake Minnewaska Visitor Center at 845-255-0752. This program is set up on a first-come, first-served basis.
