Trip/Area Description, with any special characteristics: On this field trip we will explore the remarkable birdlife found at Pelican Island by traversing the refuge’s many habitat types.

Conditions permitting, wintertime trips to Pelican Island readily yield 50+ species including such Florida specialties as Painted Bunting and Roseate Spoonbill. Birders of all experience levels are welcome on this trip.

Duration of trip in hours: 2.5 hours
Walking distance: 2 miles roundtrip from the Centennial Trailhead out to Joe Michael’s Overlook and back
