Some say Wave Hill is at its most beautiful in fall. The autumn landscape and Palisade views are breathtaking. They inspire this week’s Family Art Project – create your own version of the landscape to take home and enjoy. On Sunday, join us in the morning for birding while it's still peak migration season. And stay through the afternoon for a toe- tapping performance by AJOYO, the first in our 2023–2024 concert series, Roots & Branches. AJOYO fuses African, jazz and soul, much like the radiant blend of colors across the autumn landscape, for a sound that will uplift your spirit.
Wave Hill will be open all day on Veterans Day, Saturday, Nov 11.

Fall is peak migration time along the Hudson River and we have a front row seat! Join naturalists and bird guides Gabriel Willow and Paul Keim as you explore Wave Hill’s gardens, woodlands and the skies overhead to look for resident and migrating birds. A limited number of binoculars, monoculars and walking sticks are available to borrow at the Perkins Visitor Center. Ages 10 and older welcome with an adult. Severe weather cancels.
Gabriel Willow is a naturalist with a particular passion for birds and urban spaces. He is an environmental educator and ecological tour guide in NYC, where he leads tours and teaches classes for NYC Audubon and Wave Hill, among others. His tours focus on seeking out the overlooked and ignored elements of wildness hiding all around us, ranging from boat trips on the East River and kayaking on Newtown Creek, to seeking the elusive Peregrine Falcons nesting on skyscrapers near Wall Street. He has created programs for Lincoln Center, the Morgan Library and Museum, the NY Botanical Garden and more. He is also an artist, illustrator and DJ.
Paul Keim, once referred to as the Bat Man of Brooklyn, is a freelance naturalist with enthusiasm for bats, bugs and birds. Aside from birding at Wave Hill, his favorite place to bring his binoculars is Cape May. When he is not out in gardens and parks observing nature, he is watercoloring both indoors and out. He is a member of the Brooklyn Watercolor Society and is a fulltime professional printmaker by trade.
