Birding Faver-Dykes State Park

Rumors say there may be Florida Scrub Jays at Faver Dykes. Let's find out!

Join Craig Van Boskirk for a walk among lovely maritime hammock and salt marsh habitats with a diversity of birds. We hope to see a variety of birds including Reddish Egrets, migratory ducks, Bald Eagle, American White Pelican (winter), Clapper Rail, Barred Owl, Wild Turkey, Pine Warbler and Brown-headed Nuthatch. Over 20 species of wood-warbler have been recorded in the park during spring and fall migration, including Blue-winged, Cape May and Tennessee.

Bring bugspray, water and a hat!

A Park Ranger or two may join us for the walk if they are available, which is always a delight!

Bathrooms are available.

Meet us at the Boat Ramp for the start of the walk at 8:30 AM.

Note: The gate to Faver Dykes opens at 8:00 AM, which will give you time to find the Boat Ramp by 8:30 AM. There ia a $5 charge per car via the self-pay honor box at the front gate.
