This is a great migration hot spot - part of the National Park Service’s Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve; some of the last untouched coastal habitat in northeast Florida. We will bird around the Spanish Pond boardwalk. We might see painted bunting, migrant warblers, a number of woodpecker species and two or three types of vireo.

Meeting place: Spanish Pond parking lot, directly across the street from the fort entrance on Fort Caroline Road.

This outing is in conjunction with St. Johns Riverkeeper "Save the St. Johns: Activate the River campaign. The 2017 Activate the River project highlights the local businesses and partners doing great work along the entire river, while sounding the alarm about the threats facing the St. Johns and the issues shared by communities throughout the watershed. The idea is to get people out on the river to save the river. Eco-tours, paddling trips, and outings will be scheduled throughout the St. Johns River watershed to introduce people to the wonders of the St. Johns, show support for clean water and a healthy river, and demonstrate what we stand to lose if we don’t stand up for the St. Johns.

Location Across the street from 12713 Fort Caroline Road, Jacksonville, FL.
