Corbett Wildlife Management Area \nJoin expert birder and avian ecologist Mike Baranski for a guided exploration of this unique Wildlife Management Area. \nTrip Overview \nJoin expert birder and avian ecologist Mike Baranski for a guided exploration of over 60\,000 acres of diverse habitat in J.W. Corbett Wildlife Management Area. Located just east of Lake Okeechobee and 25 miles northwest of West Palm Beach\, Corbett is part of both the Ocean to Lake Trail and the Great Florida Birding and Wildlife Trail. \nThis underbirded gem is known for its rich biodiversity and wide-open natural beauty. Past trips have revealed exciting species such as Vermilion Flycatcher\, Red-headed Woodpecker\, Wilson’s Snipe\, Ash-throated Flycatcher\, and large flocks of Sandhill Cranes. With a mix of pine flatwoods\, cypress swamps\, and open prairie\, this location offers excellent birding for all levels of experience. \nAbout J.W. Corbett Wildlife Management Area \nLocated about 25 miles northwest of West Palm Beach\, J.W. Corbett Wildlife Management Area spans over 60\,000 acres and is managed by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. As one of Florida’s oldest wildlife management areas\, it sits in the transitional zone between central Florida’s uplands and the Everglades\, protecting some of the highest-quality\, relatively undisturbed pine flatwoods\, hammocks\, and marshes remaining in South Florida. These lands provide critical habitat for a wide range of wildlife\, including bald eagles\, while also protecting important wetlands that support the larger Everglades ecosystem.

He spent many formative years navigating and exploring Florida’s most productive coastal ecosystems\, including the Indian River Lagoon\, Lake Worth Lagoon\, Biscayne Bay\, the Upper Keys\, and the Gulf Stream waters off Palm Beach. These early experiences built a strong foundation in seamanship\, local conditions\, and seasonal wildlife movements that continue to shape his approach today. \nCaptain Kelly brings a careful\, observation-focused mindset to every trip\, emphasizing safety\, ethical wildlife viewing and photography\, and education. His background across both inshore and offshore environments allows him to adapt trips to conditions while maximizing opportunities for close\, respectful views of seabirds\, shorebirds\, gulls\, and terns. He is particularly interested in pelagic species and wintering coastal birds and enjoys sharing local knowledge with birders of all experience levels. \nPalm Beach Pelagics was established in 2025 as a dedicated birding and nature-focused charter operation based in Palm Beach County\, Florida. The company offers offshore pelagic trips as well as inshore and Intracoastal excursions designed to highlight the region’s exceptional avian diversity. \nPalm Beach Pelagics works with individual birders\, small groups\, and conservation organizations to provide efficient\, well-planned outings that balance productivity with enjoyment. Whether running offshore along Gulf Stream weed lines or cruising calmer waters in local lagoons and natural areas\, the mission is to deliver high-quality birding experiences grounded in local expertise\, careful planning\, and respect for the birds and habitats of South Florida. \nTo Learn More about Palm Beach Pelagics Visit: https://www.facebook.com/p/Palm-Beach-Pelagics-61576018904303/
