Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge

Event Description

Join David Hartgrove for a trip to this winter birding hotspot.  We will meet and check in to caravan at the location listed below.  Be ready for a day of exploration. Radios will be available for communication purposes. It is recommended that you carry the radio at all times both in and out of the car. The leaders will use the radios to point out the birds.

The trip will be a leaders choice and may include Blackpoint Wildlife Drive and other locations. We will go where the birds lead us. Be prepared for a longer walk or two if we decide to explore areas not open to automobiles. Wear comfortable shoes and pack all of the essentials - snacks, lunch, hat, bug spray. If you wish to carpool, make sure to meet us in Port Orange. Pack a lunch for a break at the visitor center.

We host back to back trips this weekend to accommodate various schedules. You are welcome to attend one or both days. It's never the same twice.
