Have you ever heard the song of an Eastern Whip-poor-will? The almost constant singing of this nocturnal bird used to keep Albany Pine Bush neighbors up at night! Whip-poor-wills disappeared from the Albany Pine Bush Preserve for many years. Their recent return is an encouraging sign of successful habitat restoration efforts in the Pine Bush Preserve. Join us for an evening walk to learn about the fascinating lives of Eastern Whip-poor-wills while we listen for their song! In the event of rain, this program will be cancelled.We will meet at the Great Dune Trailhead (#8).
