Duette Preserve with Forrest Rowland – *MEMBERS ONLY

April 1, 2026 @ 7:30 am - 11:30 am

Participants interested in only the diurnal species will go for a few short walks from the parking area in search of the Florida subspecies of Grasshopper Sparrow, habitat specialist Bachman’s Sparrow, and hope for perhaps running into other rarities like Vesper, White-throated, or White-crowned Sparrows. Pine specialists such as Brown-headed Nuthatch reside here, as do scarcer Northern Bobwhite, Wild Turkey, and many other fun birds. The open habitats today offer good photo ops, as well.
Note there is an “Early Bird” optional tour that begins at 6:15am.
There is no fee to visit the park, nor is there infrastructure beyond dirt roads (translated: No Restrooms).
This is a Members Only Event – Registration HERE is required.
