EVERGLADES
BIRDING FESTIVAL
Become one with the River of Grass.
Journey through southern Florida searching for an array of beautiful and rare birds in ancient moss-covered Cypress Swamps, Everglades prairies that join the sky, and brilliant beaches that sparkle with flashes of roseate wings. Scan across the tips of sawgrass searching the horizon for hovering Snail Kites, transverse over alligator ponds and hear the squeal of the elusive Limpkin. Watch and listen and see.
Imagine a place of peaceful relationship with nature, where the intense excitement of finding new birds merges with a serene sense of shared joy with fellow birders.
Increase your skills and knowledge base where expert instructors facilitate your participation in the birding experience and you learn the i.d.
Gain a deeper connection with the environment, becoming a Bird Seeker who joins the peaceful flow of the river of grass.

SUMMER BREAK
I'll be working on my ABA list in the Olympic peninsula and Alaska with the family. We will be a week in Washington-Mt. Rainer, Mt. St. Helen, Westport-pelagic & Greys Harbor, Victoria, Vancouver and more.
In Alaska will be cruising on the inner passage; stopping at Keitchikan, Jeanau and Skagway. It is a trip of a lifetime and one I have waited 20 years for. Wish me luck, I am hoping for 100 species.
