One of the Best Places to go Birding in Queens!

Take a trip to the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge and explore over 330 species of birds!  Find species like osprey, tree swallows, Canada Geese, common yellowthroats, yellow warblers, American Redstarts, gray catbirds, rufous-sided towhees, Northern Cardinals, and double-crested cormorants.  If you're into birding photography, the refuge is a true avian hotspot!

The best time to go bird watching is in the late autumn, when many birds stop through as they migrate south and the weather has turned cooler.  Spring is another good migratory season.  If you're looking for a pleasant escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, Jamaica Bay should be your go-to destination!
