Birders:
Thanks to some great efforts by members of the Hendry-Glades Audubon Society, the South Florida Water Management District once again will open up STA-5 to birders on Saturday, May 20th from 8:30 a.m.- noon or so. The intent of this outing is to help survey the birds to add data for a future checklist for the site and to also see what birding are breeding at STA-5. STA-5 is located south of Clewiston in eastern Hendry County on Saturday. Meet at STA-5 or carpool from the LaBelle McDonald's at 7 a.m. or the Clewiston McDonald's at 7:45 a.m. To register: send an e-mail to Margaret England, at sta5birding@earthlink.net with your name and contact information including an emergency cell number and the number in your party. You may also leave a message at (863) 674-0695 or (863) 517-0202. Tour is subject to cancellation in case of inclement weather. Since this is entirely a walking tour, birders and photographers can go at their own pace. Folks are reminded to bring lots of water with them and to wear comfortable walking shoes. Sun screen is essential.
For maps and directions, go to:
http://tropicalaudubon.org/sta.html
Once you're on that page, there are hyperlinks to maps and directions etc. half-way down the page. Miami area birders can use this map as well. If someone needs driving directions from the Naples/Ft. Myers/Immokalee area, please contact me off list and I will be glad to help.
See you there!
