Join us for our eleventh annual tour of the Egmont Key Bird Sanctuary Tour with a stop at the Ft Dade ruins, Lighthouse, and hopefully a Black Skimmer colony.  The Egmont Key Ferry will take us around the south tip of Egmont Key to see the areas where birds are nesting.  (These areas are not accessible by foot and only seen by visitors with boats).  The chicks from our Laughing gulls, Royal terns, & Sandwich terns should be out on the beaches exploring.  Brown Pelicans, White ibis, and American Oystercatchers can also nest on the islands.

Space is limited and this event sells out quickly.
