Beginners Bird Walk

     Citrus County Audubon Society is offering  educational bird walks focusing on the basics of birding. We welcome interested folks of all ages to get outside with us and enjoy our Florida birds.     All walks start at Wallace Brooks Park. While walking along the lake and boardwalk our focus will be on basic bird identification skills.

     Meet at Wallace Brooks parking lot (see map link below) at 9:00 am sharp.   We will walk about a mile and a half. 

     If you have any questions about these walks please contact Eileen Riccio at elriccio@yahoo.com or (352) 400-8732.
