Be a part of migration! There are many renowned migration hotspots throughout the world, yet few know about the significance and magnitude of migratory birds over the Florida Keys. More than 20,000 birds of prey can be observed from the Middle Keys during a single season, including the highest number of Peregrine Falcons recorded anywhere in the world. Parks and refuges throughout the Keys are crucial stopover sites during spring and fall, and are visited by thousands of warblers, thrushes, orioles and many other songbirds making migratory flights in and out of the North American continent. Learn how to best experience this wonderful natural phenomenon, when and where in the Keys to best enjoy the passage of migrating waterbirds, raptors and songbirds.

Refreshments and hors d’oeuvres will be served.
