🎉 Excitement is in the air! The Friends Of Tomoka Basin State Parks in cooperation with our expert guide Joan Tague and Tomoka State Park are hosting a Beginners' Birding event hour class talk inside the REC Hall, then an optional hour bird watch at the south area.
Oct 24, 2pm, $20 per person (exclusive $5 member discount code given in next Tomoka Time Quarterly newsletter) to raise funds for supporting needs of the Tomoka Basin State Parks.
It's winter in Florida. Everywhere you look there are birds, sandpipers on the beach, herons along the river and mockingbirds in the yard. Have you ever noticed a bird that has taken you by surprise? Have you ever wondered what that bird is? If you have, then you are a bird watcher. You might have taken the next step and picked up a bird guide book or went to the internet for some help.
You quickly realized there are 800 avian species that are regularly recorded each year in North America and probably wondered - how do I make sense of this? It's impossible, yet people do it every day.
We are offering to help. Join us Friday, October 24, 2025 at Tomoka State Park for our session exploring the sport/science/pass time of birding.
This workshop will include both classroom and outdoor opportunities to hone your skills. You will be introduced to tools that will help you to whittle down the possibilities and that will get you to the right id:
"I know what that is!" The class is recommended for adults and older children accompanied by an adult.
