Hello, I'm Beth, a long-term Upper West Side resident and a New York City history lover. The city's history is my passion and to this day I continually learn fascinating tidbits about my home. Thanks to my work both as an employee of the Central Park Conservancy and as a volunteer, I am a Central Park specialist, but beyond that, I lead tours all over the city, including Grand Central Terminal, Upper West Side & Downtown. I also conduct bird watching and bus tours. My interests are quite eclectic: the Gilded Age, bird watching, film, theater, live music, architecture, and more. All of these add dimension and an entertaining breadth and scope to my tours. ALL of my tours and experiences may be customized and curated to meet your personal interests. Feel free to ask me any questions!

A unique nature experience in the heart of Manhattan
Overview of your New York City tour
Central Park is the green heart of New York City and hosts many bird species and other wildlife. Join me for an enchanting experience in Central Park - one of the best birding locations in the United States! The park has been my backyard for many years. As a licensed tour guide, I have an authentic local's perspective that will enhance and inform your own visit. The park was designed for the visitor to lose their way (it is an adventure, after all) but, with me, your adventure will be confusion-free. You'll be awed by its natural splendor and its many bird species. Note: Migration periods from April - May and September - mid-November are the best times to see migrating songbirds. Birdwatching is by nature a random experience. There is no predicting which birds will be seen and when. Rest assured that you will enjoy a relaxing and enjoyable experience in the park.
Your New York City tour itinerary
We go where expect birds to be so there is no set itinerary. Tours will be primarily in the Ramble woodland in the center of the park but the North Woods at the north end of the park is an option. Meeting point may be tailored to your convenience.
