Enjoy a tour of Longwood’s Abbondi property during the height of fall bird migration, and witness species that have stopped over while they make their journey south.
This walk offers a special opportunity to explore a section of Longwood not open to the public, but that is actively managed for biological and ecological diversity. Abbondi is a wonderful place to see birds, unique habitats, large specimen trees, and a diversity of plants that attract a wide variety of species. Learn how to identify different birds by their songs and calls, distinctive markings, and behaviors; see what types of trees and shrubs various birds are attracted to; and gather ideas for making your own home garden more “bird-friendly.”
