SUMMARY:Florida Birding & Nature Festival
DESCRIPTION:Early birds catch the worms — and the discounts!\nWe’ll be highlighting the trips that sold out first last year in a series of emails\, but the entire schedule is online at https://www.floridabirdingandnaturefestival.org/schedule.html so you can take advantage of the early-bird pricing through July. \nPre-festival bus trip Join four of the state’s best birders — Dave Goodwin\, Jim Eager\, Bob Snow and Cole Frederick — on a day-long excursion to Saddle Creek Park and Circle B Bar Reserve\, where you can expect to see dozens of species\, (Visit https://www.floridabirdingandnaturefestival.org/schedule.html) for the full list.) This is definitely an early-bird excursion\, with the bus boarding at 7 a.m. to take advantage of a full day of birding. \nCoffeepot Bayou Bird Island Audubon’s Jeff Liechy takes the helm of Tampa Bay Watch’s Discovery Eco-Tour Boat for an evening trip and a close-up view of colonial waterbirds. (They won’t be nesting so we won’t disturb them.) \nOutback Key and Lower Terra Ceia Bay Eric Plage and Holley Short will lead this boat trip to two of the region’s prime birding spots. An ephemeral barrier island\, Outback Key isn’t easily accessible so the birds are extraordinarily comfortable with visitors. The Pinellas National Wildlife Refuge is a roosting site for Magnificent Frigatebirds. \nFort De Soto by land David Goodwin and Jim Eager are back again with trips for advanced birders on Saturday and Sunday morning. Fort De Soto is a 1\,136-acre park covering five connected islands that is a haven for migrating neo-tropicals as well as diverse shorebirds. \nLower Green Swamp by wagon Once a working cattle ranch\, the 12\,800-acre preserve is being restored by Hillsborough County. You’ll get a behind-the-scenes view because the staff working on the restoration will lead the trip. You’ll cross grasslands\, open wooded areas\, pine forests and a large wetland area\, so you’ll see an amazing diversity of birds\, from Bald Eagles to Bachman Sparrows. \nCheck out https://www.floridabirdingandnaturefestival.org/schedule.html and grab those spots while you still can! \nSeminars & Free Nature Expo!\nWhile field trips get the most attention\, we have an incredible lineup of presentations planned along with a free Nature Expo featuring local organizations and naturalists. You can attend as many seminars as you like for the cost of registering for one day — and they’ll all be on Zoom if you can’t make it to Apollo Beach or if you’re out on a field trip and then available afterward or if you’re out on a field trip. \nCheck out these highlights: \n\nA worm’s eye view of Tampa Bay\, what sediment invertebrates can tell us about the health of our bay. Dave Karlen and the Environmental Protection Commission of Hillsborough County have been studying these largely invisible creatures for 30 years.\nConserving Florida Scrub Jays. Once phosphate mining is complete\, Mosaic reclaims land and then manages it with fire to provide optimum habitat for the endemic species.\nMarc Minno literally wrote the books on Florida butterflies. Join him for this presentation and then a field trip through the Fred and Idah Schultz Preserve where diverse habitats make it THE place for a wide variety of butterflies.\nDan Huber at the University of Tampa is an expert on the biomechanics of sharks and how understanding their mechanical functions contribute to their position as an apex predator for millions of years.\n\nKeynote speakers you won’t want to miss! \nTo be published in September\, Audubon’s Birds of Florida is the latest from Clay Henderson\, former president of Audubon Florida. Henderson followed Audubon’s footsteps and paddled in his wake to look for birds in the same places. His previous book\, Forces of Nature\, celebrates the people and organizations who made Florida a leader in state-funded conservation and land management. \n  \n  \nParticipants in last year’s birding festival logged a total of 145 species of birds\, ranging from Wild Turkeys to Magnificant Frigatebirds. It’s not likely that one person saw all of them in the four days of the festival\, but our schedule during peak migration season means that we’ll see birds that we otherwise would miss. Our expert field trip leaders will be scouting their locations in advance to make sure you get to see the most birds possible. \nClick here for the full list.
