You may know birding expert Rob Jett from his Birding in Peace tours. You know, the ones that meet at 6 am? Always wanted to go on a birding tour at Green-Wood but not a morning person? This tour is for you! The early birder might “get the worm” but you can birdwatch at any hour.

Join Rob and a small group of fellow members to roam the grounds while hearing and seeing the many feathered friends of Green-Wood. You can expect to see different species on each tour.

Price: $15 for members, $20 for non-member guests

Walking Tour
(see details below)

In May, during peak migration, you might spot ruby-throated hummingbirds or some of more than twenty species of vibrant wood warblers, among other species. By July, the songs of warblers give way to the buzz of cicadas and the calls of fledglings, and we should see the offspring of our resident red-tailed hawk preparing to leave the nest.
