Wave Hill Weekly Events (Nov 5 – Nov 12) | Soar Through the Gardens

 

Here on the ground, the gardens are cast in a golden light by the bright sun and an ochre moon. In the sky, not too far above our heads, silhouettes glide through the rays of what we could only dream of reaching. On treetops, perched atop homes like statues, and carried by winds that blow through the valleys of the Hudson, you’ll find raptors keeping a watchful eye on the places they call home. Look for native and migratory hawks, owls, and other feathered friends here at Wave Hill as they pass through and show us just how high they can soar.
