We will be birding the Sanctuary trails first, then heading to Sagamore Hill NHS just up the road for meadows and woodlands, then over to St. John’s pond in Cold Spring Harbor to spot some waterfowl. Each participant will receive a laminated bird guide to keep and learn how to use the Audubon bird ID app on your phone. Tour for ages 10+. $25 per person/ $40 max per car. Sanitized binoculars available for loan if needed. Email [email protected] to register or for more information. Space very limited. Masks and social distancing must be used when out of our cars.

Leave your leaves and brush. The birds love it! #leavetheleaves #birdfriendlycommunities #plantsforbirds @audubon_ny

"Like the rest of the world, we watched the events at the U.S. Capitol in horror as anti-democratic zealots violently disrupted what should have been a ceremonial start to the peaceful transition of power after a free and fair election. History and we will hold responsible the elected officials who have promoted the assault on our democracy." - David Yarnold, president and CEO of the National Audubon Society.

Thank you for your continued support during this challenging year. As Giving Tuesday comes to a close, please remember the Theodore Roosevelt Sanctuary and Audubon Center in your giving.
