Welcome ! This site is devoted to all aspects of NYC birding. For a major metropolitan area (or if you're a New Yorker, the major metropolitan area) NYC provides a surprisingly large number of high-quality birding locations and experiences. The highest-profile of these locations are Central Park and Jamaica Bay but in fact many places in the city offer good birding. These places often offer better birding than comparable areas outside the city, ironically in part because of loss of habitat in the urban area
This site has two major aims: first to promote birding in the city by providing location guides to good birding places in the city and beyond - an extension to my Central Park Birding site launched in 2005; secondly to provide a resource for ID issues that naturally come up when you start birding these locations. Both of these things are under active development, and get worked on in my "spare" time.
