We miss you! The past 18 months have been challenging for many of us. During these difficult times, birds have offered us a beacon of hope. We also have each other. Staying connected is important to us. No matter how you’ve joined in the past or choose to join in the months to come — by Zoom, WhatsApp or in the field — we welcome your participation.
Fall Migration Field Trip Kickoff!
Join the Phoebes on Sunday, September 12th as we explore A.D. Barnes Park’s native Hardwood and Pine Rockland habitats in search of migratory warblers, wintering birds, as well as year-round resident birds. Have you ever wondered how to tell apart a Black-throated Blue Warbler from a Black-and-white Warbler, a Yellow-throated Warbler from a Common Yellowthroat, or Ovenbird from a Gray Catbird? Keep your eyes peeled - we may even see exotic species such as the vibrant Blue-and-yellow Macaw and the striking Spot-breasted Oriole.
This casual walk is open to all female nature enthusiasts - whether you're a seasoned birder or have never been on a bird walk.
Bring binoculars and an open mind. Don't have binoculars? Leica Store Miami will be providing optics on a first-come, first-served basis.
After the walk, join the Phoebes for a picnic in the park. Bring your favorite picnic fare to share!
WHAT: Bird Walk for female nature buffs of any experience level.
WHEN: Sunday, September 12, 2021 7:30-10:30 AM
