KEY WEST  &  DRY TORTUGAS

We will return to popular Key West, stop at the Ten Thousand Island tower on the way there , stay at the Comfort Inn and the next day take the commodious Yankee Freedom to spend the day at historic Fort Jefferson on the Dry Tortugas.  The Dry Tortugas are a respite for migratory birds returning from South America.  We expect to see nesting Sooty Terns, Brown Boobies, various warblers and many other varieties.

The third day the bus will take us to hot spots around Key West, the lower keys, and the Wild Bird Rescue Center. A few of our target birds are the White- crowned pigeon, Mangrove cuckoo and Wurdemenn’s heron.  Each  evening we’ll search for the Antillean nighthawk.  On our return north the fourth day we’ll stop off at Pennekamp State Park and take a glass bottom boat ride.  From there we’ll bird our way back with a late arrival in Venice/Sarasota. We are hoping to see 100+ species.
