Whether you’re an experienced birder or a beginner, there’s lots to discover in the Peterson Preserve at RTPI — including a bluebird trail. So, in addition to migrating warblers, keep your eyes peeled for adult bluebirds feeding their young atop our new bluebird nest boxes. To learn more about our Bluebird Trail click HERE.

Field guides and binoculars are helpful but not required. Children are encouraged to join but must be accompanied by an adult.

One of our expert guides this year is Gary Bletsch. Gary is a retired teacher, originally from Rockland County, New York. He has recently moved back to the Empire State, after having lived most of the past four decades on the West Coast. He started birding in 1974 and has since birded all over the world.
