SUMMARY:Program: Newly Detected Invasive Species
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Monday\, April 20th from 6:00–7:30 PM at the Tillie K. Fowler Regional Park Nature Center for an informative and timely presentation.\n\nWe are pleased to welcome Mary Reed from the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services\, Division of Plant Industry\, who will speak on the newly detected invasive species\, the Yellow-Legged Hornet (YLH).\n\nFirst identified in Savannah\, Georgia in 2023 and later in South Carolina in 2024\, this species is a significant predator of honeybees and other beneficial insects\, posing a serious threat to pollinator populations. While the Yellow-Legged Hornet has not yet been detected in Florida\, FDACS-DPI is actively conducting surveys in the northeastern region of the state due to its proximity to confirmed sightings.\n\nThis presentation will cover:\n\n– The history and biology of the Yellow-Legged Hornet– How to identify hornets and locate their nests– Steps to take if you suspect a sighting\n\nOur goal is to raise awareness and support early detection efforts within the community.\n\nWe hope you can join us for this important discussion!

SUMMARY:Duval Audubon Society / Florida Young Birders Club Outing at Guana Reserve ($3 entrance fee)
DESCRIPTION:Calling all young birders! Join us on Global Big Day as we explore Guana Reserve with the Florida Young Birders Club – NE Florida Chapter! \nJoin us for a birding outing at Guana Reserve on Saturday\, May 9th from 8-10am! We will be celebrating Global Big Day by finding a variety of bird species as we bird our way through Guana’s diverse landscape. FYBC is a membership organization geared towards young birders ages 9-17\, but you do not need to be a member to go birding with us for this outing. This walk will be led by Will Misner\, youth representative of the FYBC-Northeast Florida Chapter\, and David Doran\, Duval Audubon Society’s Director of Education and Youth Outreach. \nGuana Reserve features a variety of habitats including salt marshes\, a large freshwater-to-brackish water lagoon\, open ocean\, and coastal oak hammock forests. It is home to a multitude of warbler species\, including Prarie Warblers and Yellow-throated Warblers\, wading birds such as Roseate Spoonbills and Wood Storks\, and is one of the best places in Florida to find the elusive Saltmarsh Sparrow. \nLearn more about Guana here and check out Guana’s Ebird list. \nRegister at https://tinyurl.com/fybcguana to connect with other young birders in Northeast Florida! \nPlease plan to have at least one adult joining each young birder or group of young birders who are signing up together. You will be asked to list all young birder(s )and adult(s) in your registration; you may relist the adult’s email if a young birder does not have an email or prefers not to share it. \nWhat to Bring: Wear weather-appropriate clothing and sturdy shoes to bird along the trails.
