Prospect Park Beginner Birdwatching Tour
About
I’m Steph — bird-influencer and host of That Quirky Bird Girl, where I share the joy, curiosity, and life lessons that come from connecting with birds. My goal is simple: help people slow down, look up, and discover that nature is all around us, even in the heart of NYC.
Together, we’ll search for incredible birds like Sparrows, Blue Jays, Cardinals, Robins, and more.

What to expect
- 1Prospect ParkWe’ll begin our adventure near the Prospect Park Ice Skating Rink where we can overlook the iconic Herons and Ducks that live nearby. This meeting spot sets the perfect tone for our journey into the world of birds and nature. At the start of the tour, you’ll get a brief overview of what to expect, including the birds we’re most likely to encounter and the key landmarks we’ll pass along the way. Please arrive on time, as I allow a 10-minute grace period before we begin our walk. During this time, I’ll go over important details to help you make the most of the tour, from how to spot birds to fun facts about the park’s history and seasonal changes. Once we’re ready, we’ll embark on our one-hour-and-fifty-minute stroll, discovering the hidden gems of Prospect Park while learning how to connect with nature in a whole new way! 20 min
