Duette Bear Bay Rd Early Bird Tour
March 28, 2027
6:00 AM – 11:30 AM
OPTIONAL 7:30 Start
We will meet early at the Bear Bay Rd. entrance to Duette Preserve. For those early risers interested in trying for Chuck-will’s-widow and Eastern Whip-poor-will we will search these out as well as Barred Owl.
At 7:45 we will reconvene with participants interested in only the diurnal species back at the entrance, and 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, Brown-headed Nuthatch reside here, as do scarcer Northern Bobwhite, Wild Turkey, and many other fun birds.
