FIELD TRIP Meet us at the Deland Post Office parking lot NW corner at 8:30 AM to car pool to our destination. Washington Oaks offers aged live oak forest with hopefully lots of small birds on their way north for the summer. We will bird all day. Bring lunch, drinks, binoculars, and a camera! We will also likely have time to cross the road and see what shore birds can be found. The Cochina formations on the beach are always quite interesting to photograph and explore.

FIELD TRIP We will be meeting at the Post Office parking lot on EAST New York Avenue at 8:00 AM. Find us in the north-east corner near the gas station. We will be car pooling. Bring water and lunch. This is an automobile birding trip and includes very little walking. We will be gone all day. I will have been out there on the Wednesday and Friday before this trip so I should have a pretty good idea of what we can hope to see. There will be a lot of birds, that’s a given. Come and join us.
