SUMMARY:Guided Birding Driving Tour at STA 1-E
DESCRIPTION:Join Audubon Everglades for a fun\, educational bird walk designed for beginner birders eager to learn bird identification at the preserve\n\n\nIntroduction to Birding: Stormwater Treatment Area 1-ENew to birding? This is the trip for you. Join Audubon Everglades Field Guide Marcus Kelly and Kyle Matera for a relaxed\, beginner-friendly driving tour through Stormwater Treatment Area 1 East— a vital piece of Everglades restoration and a fantastic place to start learning birds. This slower-paced tour is built around teaching the fundamentals: how to identify species by sight\, sound\, and behavior\, and how to read a wetland habitat like a birder. This event is made possible through our ongoing partnership with the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD).Why STAs MatterStormwater Treatment Areas are large constructed wetlands built to remove excess phosphorus from water before it reaches the Everglades. As water moves slowly through dense stands of native vegetation\, plants absorb nutrients from agricultural and stormwater runoff\, cleaning the water before it continues south into the Everglades Protection Area. Over the past two decades\, this network of STAs has cut phosphorus levels in Everglades-bound water by roughly 80%\, making it one of the most effective restoration tools ever built. Beyond water quality\, these constructed wetlands have become thriving habitat in their own right — supporting wading birds\, waterfowl\, and raptors\, and offering some of the best birding in South Florida.Why This Partnership Is UniqueSFWMD manages these treatment areas as working infrastructure\, not public parkland\, so access is normally limited. Our partnership gives Audubon Everglades participants a rare chance to get out onto the levees of an active restoration site and see firsthand how engineered wetlands are protecting the Everglades — all while exploring habitat that’s otherwise closed to the public.What to ExpectThis tour moves at a slower\, more deliberate pace than our standard STA trips\, with extra time at each stop for Marcus and Kyle to walk through the basics: how to use binoculars effectively\, what field marks to look for\, how to tell species apart\, and what different behaviors — feeding\, calling — can tell you about a bird. Expect plenty of time for questions. This is not a walking tour — all observation happens from vehicles or at brief stops nearby. Species you may practice identifying include Roseate Spoonbills\, Fulvous and Black-bellied Whistling-Ducks\, Limpkins\, Purple Gallinules\, Northern Harriers\, American White Pelicans\, Wood Storks\, Snail Kites\, and occasionally rarities like Least Bitterns or Crested Caracaras..Whether you’ve never picked up binoculars or just want to sharpen your ID skills\, this trip is designed to build your confidence and get you hooked on birding. \nEvent Details• This is a carpool driving tour with 4 people per vehicle\, including the driver.• Check-In Time: 7:00 AM• Start Time: 7:30 AM• This tour starts promptly at 7:30 AM and gates will be closed — no exceptions.

SUMMARY:Cruisin' the Marsh: Birding at Fran Reich Preserve
DESCRIPTION:Join Audubon Everglades for a fun\, educational bird walk designed for beginner birders eager to learn bird identification at the preserve\n\n\nIntroduction to Birding: Fran Reich Preserve \nNew to birding? This is the trip for you. Join Audubon Everglades Field Guide for a relaxed\, beginner-friendly driving tour through Fran Reich Preserve— a vital piece of Everglades restoration and a fantastic place to start learning birds.

This event is made possible through our ongoing partnership with the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD). \nWhy is Fran Reich Preserve important?Fran Reich Preserve plays a vital role in supporting South Florida’s water ecosystem and its birdlife. By capturing and storing excess surface water\, the preserve helps ensure natural habitats have a reliable water supply\, while also recharging the region’s drinking water aquifer and helping protect against saltwater intrusion in coastal areas. This mix of wetland\, marsh\, and scrub habitat also makes the preserve an important home for birds — wading birds and raptors like osprey and hawks forage and hunt across the marshes\, while more elusive species such as the Black Rail\, Sedge Wren\, Grasshopper Sparrow\, and Virginia Rail rely on the wetlands\, and wintering sparrows and migrants like the Yellow-rumped Warbler pass through the scrub habitat each season. \nWhy This Partnership Is UniqueOur partnership gives Audubon Everglades members a rare chance to get out onto the levees of an active restoration site and see firsthand how engineered wetlands are protecting the Everglades — all while exploring habitat that’s otherwise closed to the public. It’s a hands-on opportunity to connect the dots between water management\, habitat\, and the birds we love\, and to help us spread that story to the broader community.What to ExpectThis tour moves at a slower\, more deliberate pace than our standard trips\, with extra time at each stop for our field guides to walk through the basics: how to use binoculars effectively\, what field marks to look for\, how to tell species apart\, and what different behaviors — feeding\, calling — can tell you about a bird. Expect plenty of time for questions. This is not a walking tour — all observation happens from vehicles or at brief stops nearby. Target species may include Black Rail\, Sedge Wren\, Grasshopper Sparrow\, and Virginia Rail.Whether you’ve never picked up binoculars or just want to sharpen your ID skills\, this trip is designed to build your confidence and get you hooked on birding.Event Details• This is a carpool driving tour with 4 people per vehicle\, including the driver.• Check-In Time: 7:00 AM• Start Time: 7:30 AM• This tour starts promptly at 7:30 AM and gates will be closed — no exceptions.

SUMMARY:Crusing the Marsh: Birding at STA-1W expansion 2
DESCRIPTION:Whether you are new to birding\, or an experienced birder\, there is something for everyone. Join AE field guides to explore this STA.\n\n\nIntroduction to Birding: Stormwater Treatment Area 1 West Expansion 2New to birding? This is the trip for you. Join Audubon Everglades Field Guide Marcus Kelly and Kyle Matera for a relaxed\, beginner-friendly driving tour through Stormwater Treatment Area 1 West expansion 2— a vital piece of Everglades restoration and a fantastic place to start learning birds. This slower-paced tour is built around teaching the fundamentals: how to identify species by sight\, sound\, and behavior\, and how to read a wetland habitat like a birder. This event is made possible through our ongoing partnership with the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD). \nWhy STAs MatterStormwater Treatment Areas are large constructed wetlands built to remove excess phosphorus from water before it reaches the Everglades. As water moves slowly through dense stands of native vegetation\, plants absorb nutrients from agricultural and stormwater runoff\, cleaning the water before it continues south into the Everglades Protection Area. Over the past two decades\, this network of STAs has cut phosphorus levels in Everglades-bound water by roughly 80%\, making it one of the most effective restoration tools ever built. Beyond water quality\, these constructed wetlands have become thriving habitat in their own right — supporting wading birds\, waterfowl\, and raptors\, and offering some of the best birding in South Florida. \nWhy This Partnership Is UniqueSFWMD manages these treatment areas as working infrastructure\, not public parkland\, so access is normally limited. Our partnership gives Audubon Everglades members a rare chance to get out onto the levees of an active restoration site and see firsthand how engineered wetlands are protecting the Everglades — all while exploring habitat that’s otherwise closed to the public. It’s a hands-on opportunity to connect the dots between water management\, habitat\, and the birds we love\, and to help us spread that story to the broader community. \nWhat to ExpectThis tour moves at a slower\, more deliberate pace than our standard STA trips\, with extra time at each stop for Marcus and Kyle to walk through the basics: how to use binoculars effectively\, what field marks to look for\, how to tell species apart\, and what different behaviors — feeding\, calling — can tell you about a bird. Expect plenty of time for questions. This is not a walking tour — all observation happens from vehicles or at brief stops nearby. Target species may include Roseate Spoonbills\, Fulvous and Black-bellied Whistling-Ducks\, Limpkins\, Purple Gallinules\, Northern Harriers\, American White Pelicans\, Wood Storks\, Snail Kites\, and occasionally rarities like Least Bitterns or Crested Caracaras.Whether you’ve never picked up binoculars or just want to sharpen your ID skills\, this trip is designed to build your confidence and get you hooked on birding. \nEvent Details• This is a carpool driving tour with 4 people per vehicle\, including the driver.• Check-In Time: 7:00 AM• Start Time: 7:30 AM• This tour starts promptly at 7:30 AM and gates will be closed — no exceptions.

SUMMARY:Grassy Water Preserve Restoration Hike
DESCRIPTION:Join Cindy Bush and Scott Zucker as we go off the beaten path and behind the scenes at Grassy Waters Preserve.\n\n\nJoin Cindy Bush and Scott Zucker for a restorative hike through one of South Florida’s remnants of the original Everglades. This is an amazing opportunity to explore diverse ecosystems—wetlands\, forested hammocks\, and tree islands—while reconnecting with nature at a slower\, more mindful pace. Keep an eye out for the swallow-tailed kite\, wood stork\, great blue heron\, white-tailed deer\, otter\, bobcat\, and alligator\, all of whom call this preserve home.
