Some of the scheduled trips are still tentative until further investigation. Do check the website for details and updates shortly before each trip. When possible an exact address will be included for those using a GPS. It is difficult and sometimes dangerous to follow in a caravan on our trips. Best thing to do is gather your maps, Florida State Birding Guides, along with any information sent out, turn on walkie talkies, and keep my cell phone number with you. Bring snacks, water, and lunch for most all trips.
