Birding for Beginners at Sagamore Hill on Sunday June 10

The following press release was published by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service on June 2, 2012. It is reproduced in full below.

Not sure how to tell a blue jay from a bluebird? A swift from a swallow? Leave the

tweets on your smartphone and come listen to the real twitters of birds. On

Sunday, June 10th from 9:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. novice birders can

join a naturalist on a leisurely hike along the trails of Sagamore Hill in

Oyster Bay. Theodore Roosevelt had a lifelong interest in birds and nature; we

will look for some of the same kinds of birds that he identified - and maybe a

few that he never saw!

Meet at the Visitor Center at 9:30 am. Wear appropriate clothes and shoes for a

moderate hike along steep woodland paths. Bring binoculars and a field guide if

you have them, and learn the basics of birding.
