Alachua Audubon Field Trip: Shired Island, Dixie County Coast

  • When: Sunday, April 21, 2024,  6:30 am
  • Location: Carpool from Jonesville Publix parking lot, 14130 W Newberry Rd, Newberry, FL
  • Cost: free

Meet Steven Goodman at the Jonesville Publix parking lot to carpool to Shired Island. This is a coastal hotspot that often presents a wide diversity of waterbirds, shorebirds, and even forested species. A scope will be useful for seeing the large flock of shorebirds that often congregate nearby. And because this field trip coincides with the peak of spring migration, we are likely to find warblers, grosbeaks, tanagers, and other migrants. Bring lunch, drinks, sunscreen, and bug spray. There are restrooms but no potable water.

Difficulty: 1.
