Beginner Birding Classes:
Just new or need a refresher on to how to identify our feathered friends?
Beginner classes help you with selecting a field book, adjusting your binoculars,
using identification markings and finding the best birding locations. See
Birding
for more.
Canoe Trips:
Our canoe trips are bird hikes on water. Fun and exciting. We use canoe
outfitters so you only need a lunch and binoculars. Watch the
calendar
for time and location.
Christmas Bird Count:
It is traditional, national in scope and we participate.
Birding Field Trips:
These day trips visit the best birding areas around central Florida. Bring a
lunch and your binoculars to the assembly location. Often there are more than
one trip per month. Included is a boat trip to see water birds from the water.
The
calendar
lists field trip dates and locations. See
Birding
for more.
Joint Society Meetings:
Our programs include joint meetings with several groups concerned with
nature and the environment. If your group wishes to schedule a joint meeting
write us or call the
Chapter Program Chairperson.
See
Meetings for more.
Overnight Nature Trips:
To experience the highlights of Florida's nature, an overnight trip is
scheduled annually. Often the trip is a three day adventure with a two
night stay at a convenient hotel. See the
calendar
for the trip schedule. Car and van pools take us to our hotel, then it
is off to see the flora and fauna in a different and exciting locale for two
days or more. Advance reservations are required. See
Birding
for more information.
Nature & Conservation Presentations:
These presentations occur during the regular meetings on fourth Tuesdays at
1:30 P.M. The meetings are held at the Trout Lake Nature Center in Eustis
Florida. See the
calendar
for the schedule of presentations. Shown is Dr. Richard Hesterberg,
lepidopterist at Cypress Gardens, presenting a program on butterflies and
moths. See
