Birding 101 @ Arlington Lions Club Boat Ramp Park (Jacksonville)

PLEASE NOTE: Attendance will be limited to no more than 20 people, and pre-registration is required. If you register and find you cannot attend, PLEASE cancel your registration to allow others to participate.
Partially in a shady hammock and partially along the St. Johns River, this site provides excellent opportunities for birding and wildlife watching on the boardwalk connecting this park to Blue Cypress Park. It’s possible to see Red-headed Woodpecker, warblers, and both species of Night Herons, plus other birds like Bald Eagle, Osprey, gulls and terns. This trip is perfect for beginning birders.
Let’s meet in the parking lot near the restrooms at 8:00 am and fill out the sign in sheets. Bring your binoculars, water, insect repellent, and a hat if desired.
