Birding at Laidlaw Preserve with Bay County Audubon

Saturday, May 16 - Birding at Audubon Laidlaw Preserve between Vernon and Bonifay. We will be joining members of Bay County Audubon Society to look for the resident birds and late migrants. Bring a picnic lunch, insect repellent and your binoculars. You can meet Neil Lamb at the gate on Hwy 79 at 9:00am if you know where it is, or you can meet Ron Houser at Porter Park in Lynn Haven at 8:00. Park by the restrooms by the bay. This park is located on the south side of the bridge over the bay in Lynn Haven. Another option is to meet Ron at the small park in Vernon, on the north side of the Holmes Creek bridge at 8:45. Neil Lamb will lead the trip. Call Ron for information or directions. 850-774-9733
The gate is:
If driving south from I-10 on Hwy 79, it is 6 miles and just past Union Hill Rd.
If driving north on Hwy 79, it is 4.5 miles north of Vernon. Because of the divided highway, you must go past the gate to a U-turn lane and come back to the gate.
