Duval Audubon Society | Florida Young Birders Club Hanna Park Birding Outing

Duval Audubon Society is sponsoring a birding outing for the Florida Young Birders Club (FYBC) - Northeast Florida Chapter at Hanna Park on Saturday, September 19th from 8-10am. 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 youth leader Will Misner, President of the FYBC-Northeast Florida Chapter, and David Doran, Duval Audubon Society's Director of Education and Youth Outreach.
