- **Event Name**: Gainesville Young Birders Club - Sweetwater Wetlands Park
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 19 Apr, 2026 at 09:00 am (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Meet trip leader Maggie Paxson on the entry pavillion by the bathrooms at 9am. We'll start by exploring Cell 1 and the boardwalk looking for breeding herons, egrets, and bitterns, alongside migrating visitors making brief stopovers--including the fun-named and even more fun-sounding bobolink flocks that feed on the rice grasses in mid-April. Time permitting, we'll continue on to the slip way to talk about how the wetlands help conserve Gainesville water quality while looking out for lingering ducks and arriving swallows. 

The Gainesville Young Birders Club is open to students aged 9-18, but younger siblings are welcome with parental supervision. Students should wear closed-toe shoes and sunscreen and bring water for the walk. You may also wish to apply bug spray. Loaner binoculars are available for students who cannot bring their own pair.
