Wings Over Florida field trip – Blackwater Fisheries Center

November 5, 2016 @ 8:30 am - 11:30 am

Join Great Florida Birding & Wildlife Trail coordinator Whitney Gray and Wings Over Florida coordinator Andy Wraithmell for a hike around this wonderful birding trail site. We will walk the dikes between the aquaculture ponds, looking for wintering wildfowl such as Ring-necked Duck and Blue-winged Teal. Wilson’s Snipe feed along the muddy edges. Bachman’s Sparrows and Brown-headed Nuthatches are fairly common and Henslow’s Sparrow has been recorded in the winter. Participants will have the opportunity to earn their first Wings Over Florida certificate.

The walk is limited to 25 people. This event is FREE and family-friendly. We encourage youth participation.
The walk is suitable for all experience levels but is aimed at beginner and intermediate level bird watchers.
