Miriam Avello with Phoebes Birding will lead birders on a Shorebird Walk at Crandon Park. Phoebes Birding is an all-female birding group that brings women together in Nature in South Florida.
South Florida is the winter home of the endangered Piping Plover. Come Fall these northern breeders make their way south to our Atlantic and Gulf beaches. Some of these plovers have been returning to the same beaches for several years. Crandon Park beach is a great location to observe Piping Plovers in winter and catch a glimpse of several banded birds that have made Crandon their winter home for many years. Because this walk is post the Winter Shorebird Survey we'll have information on where banded individuals were banded and how often they have been returning to our shores to winter.
