New York City Audubon is conducting a census of breeding birds in Central Park during the upcoming spring migration season. The Breeding Bird Census will provide comprehensive data about the presence, abundance, and distribution of nesting birds within Central Park.

We are still seeking volunteers for crucial data collection roles, so please be in touch if you are an expert birder who would like to contribute to this important work.

The Parks Department, NYC Audubon and red-tailed hawk experts today announced the restoration of the nest of the legendary red-tail hawks Pale Male and Lola on the 12th floor cornice of 927 Fifth Avenue. Concerned that this historically reproductive avian pair has failed to hatch chicks since re-establishing their nest on the Fifth Avenue building in the spring of 2005, Parks and New York City Audubon recently spearheaded a restoration of the duo’s nest and positive signs of copulation have since been observed.

New York City Audubon announces its first annual partnership with Simon Pearce, a Vermont-based designer of hand blown glass and handmade pottery, in a signature birdhouse fundraising event. From March 24 through April 20, visit the Simon Pearce store at 500 Park Avenue to see a unique art birdhouse, for which 100% of the proceeds will benefit NYC Audubon. Audubon members will also receive 10% savings off their purchases, and Simon Pearce will donate another 10% of the purchase amount to NYC Audubon.
