September Bioblitz
Become a biologist for a day (if you aren’t already) by joining FWC staff and subject matter experts during the Watermelon Pond Wildlife and Environmental Area Bioblitz on September 23. You will search for birds, plants, reptiles, amphibians, and insects to help biologists better understand the distribution of species in the area using the brand new Florida Nature Trackers program.
For all you birders, a special “early bird” event from 7:00 AM - 8:30 AM will offer a chance to view burrowing owls and, possibly, Bachman’s sparrows.
Check back in the next issue of the Limpkin Times for registration details. We hope to see you there!
