What to expect in July:
In July, many birds lower their activity level and will be seeking shade as the nesting season wanes for many species. But other birds like the American Goldfinch get a late start, beginning its nesting in July and August. By that time of year, milkweed and thistle have started producing their silky fibers that this bird will use to help build their cup-shaped nests which can be found in trees and shrubs. Another reason birds nest late in July is because they produce two or more broods per breeding season. Mourning Doves for example can produce as many as six broods a year. They’ll start nesting as early as late March, and have their last brood as late as early September. The American Robin as well as the Northern Cardinal are also some of these multi brood bird species.
Like humans, birds need to release the heat built up in their bodies from the sun by submerging in water, usually by bathing or swimming. Also, their bill may be opened, and the bare skin on the face, feet, and legs allows more heat to release from their bodies, helping them to cool down .
July is the time to savor the scent of Clethra (sweet pepper bush), and delight in the beauty of tall meadow rue, black cohosh, Joe-Pye weed, and woodland sunflowers. Butterflies like the monarch, tiger and black swallowtails, red admirals are aloft on the summer breeze.
Watch for The Full Buck Moon that will rise on Sunday, July 21. According to the Old Farmer’s Almanac, “The full Moon in July is called the Buck Moon because the antlers of male deer (bucks) are in full-growth mode at this time. Bucks shed and regrow their antlers each year, producing a larger and more impressive set as the years go by.”

POSTPONED! REIMAGINING: Honoring the Land
2025-07-30 17:30 - 19:30
THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED. NEW DATE COMING SOON.
Join us for a reflective journey honoring the African Burial Ground and Indigenous history with artist Dennis RedMoon Darkeem.
This community walk begins with a ceremonial call-and-response featuring tobacco, sage, and libation, grounding us in ancestral presence and the healing elements of nature.
Participants will walk a guided path through four significant historic and natural locations, each offering a chance to connect with the land, history, and collective memory. The walk will invite deep reflection on the park’s layered history from Indigenous stewardship to the erasure and resilience of enslaved African lives. The journey culminates at the African Burial Ground with an offering of sunflowers and messages written to the ancestors, which will be placed at the gates as a gesture of honor and remembrance.
We conclude with an on-site art-making workshop to memorialize the moment through drawing, collage, or message making, ending with a circle of silence and intention. Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of the sacredness of the land and their place in its continuing story.
Workshops start at Enslaved African & Kingsbridge Burial Grounds in Van Cortlandt Park (use Baobab Tree of Life directions in Google Maps)
Space is limited. Advanced registration required.
