I’m Steph — bird-influencer and host of That Quirky Bird Girl, where I share the joy, curiosity, and life lessons that come from connecting with birds. My goal is simple: help people slow down, look up, and discover that nature is all around us, even in the heart of NYC. Together, we’ll search for incredible birds like Sparrows, Blue Jays, Cardinals, Robins, and more. This stroll is perfect for beginners and bird lovers alike. We’ll learn what to look and listen for, get comfortable using binoculars, and uncover fun bird stories. Every season brings something new, with nearly 200 species passing through NYC. Winter brings ducks and resident birds, spring and fall bring colorful migrants, and summer highlights nesting birds raising the next generation. No two tours are the same, so come back in another season to experience a whole new side of Prospect Park’s feathered world. Leave with more curiosity, connection, and appreciation for the amazing nature happening all around us.

NYC Secrets of Grand Central Station Tour

Meredith_G, Jun 2026

History of Grand Central Station.

There’s a lot of history to GCS but it’s interesting. I liked seeing parts of GCS that one would never know existed. It is a beautiful terminal and amazing it was built during the Great Depression. Through the help of Jacqueline Kennedy and others, GCS survived and was rescued from collapsing due to the downfall of the train industry.
