About this Event

Join us for a new birding adventure at Oak Hammock Park, a lush 11+ acre natural oasis nestled within the City of Sunrise. Guided by expert birder and scientist, Dr. Corey Callaghan, this unique park offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and educational exploration. Situated on the south side of NW 44th Street, approximately 1,500 feet west of Pine Island Road, this park was acquired with funding from the Broward County Land Preservation Bond Program. There are meandering trails through the park’s diverse habitats, including a canopy of centuries-old live oaks, a pine forest, and an ancient midden. The park features a porous paved walkway, mulch trails, and an elevated boardwalk that extends over the wetland section, offering stunning views and opportunities for birdwatching. This is a new site for us, and Dr. Corey will expertly lead the way through this area.

Event Details:

  • Meeting Point: Use the address provided to meet in the parking lot. There are two entrances to the park, so please ensure you use the correct address.
  • Restrooms: Available on-site.
  • Accessibility: Most of the park is accessible via sidewalks and boardwalks. There is a small portion with dirt and woodchips, but it is close to the sidewalk and may be manageable with some assistance.

Important Notes:

  • Prohibited Items: Drones, glass containers, littering/dumping, alcohol, and illegal substances.
  • Registration Required: Advance registration is mandatory for participation, and walk-ins cannot be accommodated.
  • Limited Group Size: To ensure an intimate experience, group size is limited. If you need to cancel, please do so to allow others the opportunity to participate and move people off the waitlist.
  • eBird Participation: A shared eBird list will be maintained for documenting bird sightings. To access and edit the list, you need an eBird account with a user ID and password. Discover more about eBird here: eBird.
  • Photography Notice: We encourage photographers to capture and share the beauty of our adventure on social media. By signing the AE consent, you agree to having your photo taken and used on our social media pages. If you prefer not to have your photos shared, please inform us in advance.
  • Questions: Contact us at [email protected].

We look forward to sharing this exciting birding experience with you in this beautiful and unique location!

Dr. Corey T. Callaghan is an Assistant Professor of Global Ecology at the University of Florida, where he leads the Global Ecology Research Group in the Department of Wildlife Ecology and Conservation. His research focuses on understanding how species respond to human-induced changes in the environment. By adopting a multi-taxa approach, Dr. Callaghan and his team integrate large datasets, including those derived from citizen science and remotely-sensed products, with advanced quantitative methods, geospatial analyses, and macroecological theory. This comprehensive approach allows them to uncover the processes and mechanisms that shape biodiversity in our rapidly changing world. For more information about his work, visit his research page.
