CANCELLED – Field Trip to Leffis Key Preserve (Cancelled – due to hurricane damage)

Field trip to Leffis Key is cancelled. We will keep you up to date if there will be an alternate date later in the season. 

Join John Groskopf on a guided bird walk through Leffis Key Preserve.

A paradise for bird lovers, Leffis Key is home to a myriad of avian species. Equip yourself with a pair of binoculars, and you could witness ospreys soaring over the mangrove forest, warblers providing a beautiful soundtrack, egrets wading through the marshes, or even the elusive yellow-crowned night heron.

Everyone is welcome to attend walks. 

When going bird watching it is important to be well-prepared and comfortable. Here is a checklist of what to bring and wear: 

• Wear comfortable shoes since there will be walking
• Hat to shield you from the sun and reduce glare
• Binoculars for close up view of birds. 
• Field guide, eBird & Merlin apps are helpful in bird identification – your guides will help 
• Water to stay hydrated
• Sunscreen and Insect Repellant 

Meet in the parking lot.
