Hudson River Eagle Trip
Saturday, February 10, 2024, 1:00pm - 5:00pm
Leader: Tait Johansson
Description: Last year our Hudson River EagleTrips were so popular we are once again offering two chances to join Naturalist Tait Johansson in search of Bald Eagles along the Hudson River. Whether it’s your first or 101st time, seeing a Bald Eagle is always a thrill and the stretch ofthe Hudson River that borders northwestern Westchester holds the largest concentration of wintering Bald Eagles in the Northeast north of Chesapeake Bay. The river and its banks provide food and nesting opportunities, which will give us the chance to spot these majestic raptors along the river at multiple stops from Peekskill to Croton Point.
Registration: Cost: Free. Level of Difficulty: Easy. Please register with Susan: info@bedfordaudubon.org or by calling 914-302-9713.

Green-Wood Cemetery

I Lichen You A Lot: Family Tour & Crafting
Sunday, February 11, 2024, 2:00pm - 3:30pm
Description: There’s no greater love than when a fungus and an algae come together to form a lichen. They literally can’t live without each other! While much of nature lies dormant in winter, lichens thrive and though they are easy to spot, they’re often overlooked. This afternoon of exploration for families will include a walking tour followed by Valentine’s Day card crafting in the Historic Chapel using lichens (and as many lichen puns as we can think of!). We think you’ll be lichen this event a lot!
