Huntington
Central Park is a birders' delight all
year long and especially during the
April/May and September/October
migrations. 228 species of birds have
been spotted in the Park, to date,
offering birders an opportunity to see
locals as well as discover new species.
Don't be surprised to see an occasional
vagrant exotic, as well. Request the
