Hudson River Audubon
Society of Westchester
2018 - 2019
Outdoor activities such as birding and hiking with a group are a
wonderful way to share your interests with like-minded people to learn more about nature, and to enjoy many preserves and natural areas.
Hudson River Audubon Society field trips are free. Non-members/
newcomers are welcome and are encouraged to join us as members ($20 introductory offer).
Bring binoculars and field guides if you have them. Some are available for loan for those
who need them. Dress appropriately for the weather. For more information call Michael Bochnik at (914)
