Overview
Join Alachua Audubon Society for an exploration of an invaluable birding hotspot, Fort DeSoto Park in Pinellas County, Florida. Tim Hardin and Tonya Becker will be your guides. 

As a major stopover point and migrant trap for many avian species during spring migration, Fort De Soto Park is one of Florida’s premier destinations for birders and photographers. Made up of five offshore keys, this amazing spot is renowned for hosting an impressive mix of warblers, tanagers, grosbeaks, shorebirds, and raptors as they move north across the Gulf. We will pursue opportunities for close-up views of many species as we explore some of the park’s diverse habitats — oak hammocks, mangroves, beaches, and coastal scrubs.

Difficulty &amp; Pace
While the terrain is pretty flat and easy, it can be a moderately difficult outing due to lots of walking and sun. We will take walks on sand, possibly on boardwalks, and shaded trails. The pace will be relaxed, with frequent stops for scanning and photography. Waterproof shoes are recommended for the North Beach area, as we will cross some water.


Meet at East Beach parking lot. More details will be posted in the discussion area. 

Parking is $6/vehicle/day.
