The Gainesville Young Birders Club is a birdwatching club for students aged 9 to 17 seeking to explore local natural areas and learn more about birds and the places they inhabit. Attending students should wear sunscreen and closed-toed shoes and bring water. Loaner pairs of binoculars will be available for students who do not have access to a pair. Younger students are welcome with an accompanying parent or guardian. No membership in Alachua Audubon is required for any attendees.Meet trip leaders Adam Kent on the entry pavilion by the bathrooms at 9 am. We'll start by exploring Cell 1 and the boardwalk looking for herons, egrets, and bitterns. Time permitting, we'll continue to the spillway to see how the wetlands help conserve Gainesville water quality while looking out for lingering ducks and other waterbirds.
Please feel free to pass along this walk info to others who may be interested. The YBC will hold walks on a roughly monthly basis through May.
