SUMMARY:Field Trip: Sweetwater Wetlands Park\, Gainesville\, FL ($5 per vehicle)
DESCRIPTION:Sweetwater Wetlands Park is not only a place to connect with nature\, it’s a way to protect our environment. The park\, which consists of more than 125 acres of wetlands and ponds\, was created to improve the water quality of wetlands in Paynes Prairie and the Floridan Aquifer. \nWe will meet near the restroom area and parking lot. Bring your binoculars\, water\, snacks\, sunscreen\, and hat. After we sign in\, we will walk around looking for Virginia Rail\, Purple Gallinule\, American Bittern\, Snail Kite\, and Marsh Wren. We will be cooperating with Alachua Audubon’s Wednesday Morning Bird Walks here and will be joining their group. There will also be an optional extension of birding around the area for the day. \n325 SW Williston Rd\, Gainesville\, FL. $5 per car. \nIf you want to arrange car-pooling\, please contact Jessica Dyszel: jessica.dyszel@duvalaudubon.org \n\nLocation – Sweetwater Wetland Park\, 325 SW Williston Road\, Gainesville FL\, 32601\nHow to find us: Meet in the parking lot.

SUMMARY:Field Trip: Huguenot Memorial Park ($5 per vehicle)
DESCRIPTION:Co-leaders: Maggie Paxson & Tim Hardin (Alachua Audubon) with William Hoeck & Jessica Dyszel (Duval Audubon) \nMeet at the parking lot at 30°24’44.2″N 81°25’10.7″W to consolidate cars and head to the beach. 4WD will be preferable for beach driving to get to the north side of the park. Please ONLY drive on the beach if your vehicle is appropriately equipped and at your discretion. \nWinter birding can be especially productive with an excellent diversity of birds and much lower traffic on the beach. Targets include overwintering gulls\, terns\, waterfowl\, and shorebirds\, including the rare-in-Florida Purple Sandpipers and the rare-but-local Saltmarsh Sparrows. Other potential targets include Scoters\, Northern Gannets\, Piping and Snowy Plovers\, Nelson’s Sparrow\, and the Ash-throated Flycatcher. \nEntry to Huguenot Park is $5 per vehicle. Participants should bring water\, sunscreen\, binoculars\, and comfortable footwear for walking in soft\, sometimes wet\, uneven sands. Waterproof footwear is recommended. \nIf you choose to stay after Huguenot\, we will break for lunch at noon. Bring your own food or eat at a nearby restaurant\, such as Billy Jacks (BBQ)\, and carry on to other locations. \nThere are multiple options nearby Huguenot for afternoon trips within a 15-minute drive radius\, including Big Talbot/Spoonbill Pond\, Little Talbot\, Fort George Island/Kingsley Plantation\, Heritage River Road. Spoonbill Pond may have a chance for Marbled Godwits and Marsh Sparrows during high tide. Fort George Island is a nice drive-through for Painted Buntings. A ferry ride ($6 per person) can also take you across the river\, or you can drive around for access to Hanna Park\, Jax Arboretum\, Theodore Roosevelt Park\, Spanish Pond\, and Fort Caroline. Jax Beach Pier is a further drive but a good location for sea ducks. \n\nLocation – Huguenot Memorial Park\, 10980 Heckscher Dr\, Jacksonville\, FL 32226\n\nHow to find us: meet in the parking lot to consolidate cars. \nQuestions?
