Normanskill Farm is a city-owned complex comprising trails, community gardens, historic buildings, and a working farm that offers some of the best birding to be found within the Albany city limits. Birding here can be especially good here in the fall and a productive outing here can turn up a great variety of southbound migrants and lingering breeders in the woodlands, fields, and gardens that lie alongside the Normanskill Creek. We’ll spend the better part of a late fall morning here exploring the grounds in search of songbirds like warblers and sparrows, as well as waterfowl, shorebirds, and raptors on the water and overhead.

Meet at 7:30 a.m. at the Normanskill Farm parking lot on Mill Road. From Delaware Avenue (New York State Route 443), heading west, turn left on Mill Road just before the bridge over Normanskill Creek. Parking lot is on the left 0.25 miles down along Mill Road.
