MAS Ocala Wetlands Recharge Park October Monthly Walk - FREE Public Event

Join Marion Audubon’s Deanna Smith on a guided walk through the Ocala Wetland Recharge Park! Deanna is an excellent birder, holding the species-leader position for the Ocala Wetlands on eBird, and we are very grateful to have her lead our group this morning.

October is a fantastic time for our area in Florida, where many species begin to migrate back south through our state, heading to their wintering territories in the Caribbean, Mexico, and Central or South America.

We’ll meet in the parking lot of the Ocala Wetland Recharge Park at 8:00 AM and begin our walk from there.

Bring binoculars and a camera if you have them. We will have extra binoculars to lend for the walk. We will be walking mostly on even surfaces, but please wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes.

This is a FREE PUBLIC event, so bring a friend! You can join or renew the Marion Audubon Society on our website to access this or other future events.

This is a beginner-to-intermediate birding level event. We should have a nice array of easy-to-spot birds, as well as some more challenging sightings, because this location has a variety of habitats that offer a good mix of species. As a mid-level event, expect to walk 1 to 2 miles at most on predominantly even trails but with the potential of sand, dirt, or grass sections. As always, please refer to the details in this MeetUp description above for the exact date, time, and location for this event.
