César Castillo Memorial Birdathon - Kissena Park (4/27)

Join NYC Audubon, the Queens County Bird Club, and Queens College for a Birdathon walk in memory of César Castillo. Kissena Park was one of César’s favorite birding spots. Funds from the Birdathon will go towards the NYC Audubon efforts that Cesar cared deeply about: public programming in his home county of Queens, with a focus on connecting underserved communities to nature.

Meet in Kissena Park at the Kissena Velodrome parking lot at Booth Memorial Avenue and Parsons Boulevard.

Registration is optional but strongly encouraged. No limit.

To get to the meeting spot by car, take the Long Island Expressway to Kissena Boulevard exit, make a left on Kissena and a right on Booth Memorial. By public transit, you can take the Q17, 25, 34, or 88 bus.
