Wings Over Florida – Florida Keys Wildlife Environmental Area

2017 is the 75th Anniversary of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s Wildlife Management Area system. As part of this year long celebration, Great Florida Birding and Wildlife Trail staff Andy Wraithmell and Whitney Gray will be leading a morning bird tour at the Florida Keys Wildlife Environmental Area. We will look for winter wood-warbler flocks, Reddish Egrets, Magnificent Frigatebirds and more. Both Mangrove Cuckoo and White-crowned Pigeon have been recorded at this site during the winter months so we will keep an eye out for them as well. Participants will have the opportunity to earn their Wings Over Florida birding certificate. Wings Over Florida is a free bird and butterfly listing recognition program that rewards people for their Florida life list and big year list achievements. Certificates are awarded to participants when they reach one or multiple listing milestones. We offer 6 birding life list certificates, 1 big year birding certificate and 6 butterfly life list certificates. For more information about this program visit our website
