MARCH ISSUE

Important Notice
The outing to Shell Mound scheduled for this Saturday, 3/18/23
has been canceled!


Weather forecasts show a 90+% chance of thunderstorms in the area on Saturday morning.Safety, both on what is for most of us a long drive and while afield is always a primary concern. So, out of an abundance of caution, it has been decided that it's best to cancel this outing. We apologize for any inconvenience it means for those who had planned to attend.

Shell Mound
We had a great visit to Shell Mound in January.  But the wind was blowing a steady 30mph and the temperature was, shall we say, not very Florida-like.  So we’re going back on March 18.  It’s a beautiful place, the birding can be great, and afterwards one just might enjoy lunch at Tony’s Seafood Restaurant in Cedar Key!
​
Here’s a map showing the trailhead at the boat ramp where we’ll meet.

​John Middleton has  published a site entitled "A Red-head's Season", a beautiful photo essay which describes the breeding season of the Red-headed Woodpecker. Click this link to see it.

LEARN TO BIRD BY EAR!

We’ve put together a new, self paced learning tool, “An Introduction to Birding by Ear”.  The site is particular to our area in North Central Florida and focuses on a handful of the birds whose songs and calls are commonhere. That sample is but a starting point, but one we believe will help you gain confidence.  We hope you’ll give it a try, practice listening to those familiar birds, and add a whole new dimension to your appreciation of the grand chorus of nature!

Here is the link to the "An Introduction to Birding by Ear" website.
