Field Trip: Black Creek Park and Trail (no fee)
Saturday, August 20, 2022, 08:00am - 11:00pm

PLEASE REGISTER ON OUR MEETUP SITE so we know how many to expect. Thank you!

Located near the mouth of Black Creek, this shady mixed woodland has lots of canopy, thick second growth, and plenty of trails to explore. Squeezed between a cypress swamp and US-17, it’s both birdy and beautiful. A creek view trail provides excellent views of Black Creek, a lowland area, and canopy. If you are looking for songbirds, this is one of the county’s premier hotspots. This area has produced rare Short-tailed Hawk and Cerulean Warbler around this time.

Meet at 8:00 am in the parking lot, sign in, then get some good birds. Bring your binoculars, water, insect repellent, and snacks. There is a restroom that is fairly well maintained with a drinking fountain.
