Crosby Sanctuary Outing - Florida Young Birders Club (NE Florida Chapter)

Duval Audubon Society | Florida Young Birders Club Crosby Sanctuary Birding Outing

Join us for an outing at Crosby Sanctuary on Sunday, March 22nd from 8-10am, where we'll have special access for our group! Owned by Duval Audubon Society, Crosby Sanctuary is a limited-access nature preserve that is home to a full biodiversity of native plants, mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates. FYBC is a membership organization geared towards young birders ages 9-17, but you do not need to be a member to go birding with us for this outing. This walk will be led by Will Misner, youth representative of the FYBC-Northeast Florida Chapter, and David Doran, Duval Audubon Society's Director of Education and Youth Outreach.

You can learn more about Florida Young Birders Club, here: floridayoungbirders.org.

Birds abound! Crosby Sanctuary is an important breeding site for the Prothonotary Warbler, which returns from Central America each year. Rusty Blackbirds have also been seen there occasionally during wintering and migration periods. There are always great birds to see and signs of wildlife activity to enjoy when visiting Crosby Sanctuary! Learn more here: https://duvalaudubon.org/index.php/2015-07-13-17-02-27/crosby-sanctuary
