This group is for those that have a desire to explore our natural world. We will be traveling through ecosystems around central Florida an beyond searching for whatever we can find with a main focus on birding but also including reptiles/amphibians, flowers, butterflies, and more!
All skills levels welcome though many events may be more hardcore than others, requiring a higher degree of knowledge, experience, and physical condition.
This local park features a couple miles of hiking trails through wooded areas and alongside springs. Many migrant birds are likely to use this as a stopover area so we should have a good chance for a variety of species!
Time: At least two hours. Longer if birds are showing well.
Weather: Unless there are severe storms, this will occur rain or shine!
Skill Level and Pace: Any welcome. Suitable for beginners. Will be at a casual/leisurely pace.
Potential Non-Avian Wildlife: Alligators, manatees, deer, fish, turtles, and snakes.
