NORTH SHORE BIRDING FESTIVAL — December 5-9, 2024

The NORTH SHORE BIRDING FESTIVAL on Lake Apopka in Central Florida highlights the St. Johns River Water Management District’s 20,00-acre Lake Apopka North Shore, Florida’s top eBird hotspot.

This year's event features FIVE days filled with 70 field trips, including about 15 tailored toward nature photographers.

Some trips are full but there are many great slots left. Each trip has a charge of $25 to $85, with no additional festival registration fee.

Remember that just clicking RSVP here on Meetup is not enough to save your slot. You must follow the prompts on the NORTH SHORE BIRDING FESTIVAL website to register. https://northshorebirdingfestival.com/

All festival proceeds support Orange Audubon Society’s nature center fund.
