Trip leader: Keynote speaker Rafael Galvez
Join keynote speaker Rafael Galvez for a morning walk with the aim of encountering migratory songbirds. The hammocks, forests and swamps of the Florida Keys are crucial stopover sites for thousands of migratory birds during the fall. These birds migrate primarily during night hours, flying over the Gulf and Florida Bay to find refueling grounds in the Keys before continuing into the Caribbean and South America. During the peak of migration, hundreds of birds may simultaneously make landfall at daybreak. We will be hearing many bobolinks and warblers flying overhead.
Cost: $30
