Wave Hill Events November 11-November 18

Fly over to Wave Hill this weekend for two birding walks–our usually monthly walk and a special one for families, both on Sunday–and a Family Art Project that is also keyed to our much loved bird population. Winter can be the quietest time of the year in the garden, but an active time for the birds. With a rich habitat for birds in winter, Wave Hill is a birding hotspot! Grab your binoculars and explore the grounds yourself on a guided birding walk.

At this week’s Family Art Project, creative art-making provides a way to celebrate local bird species that inhabit Wave Hill in the winter. More details below!
