SUMMARY:Florida Scrub Jay Walk
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy a short walk with Jim Howe as you witness the behavior of these endemic birds.\n\n\nIn collaboration with Johnathan Dickinson State Park\, we are thrilled to promote the Florida Scrub Jay Walk\, an opportunity to explore the unique habitat of the Florida scrub jay (Aphelocoma coerulescens). This bird species is native to North America and holds the distinction of being the only bird endemic to the state of Florida\, as well as one of just 15 species exclusive to the continental United States. \nImportant details for your participation: \nEnvironmental Conditions: Please note that there are no water sources or restroom facilities nearby. Be prepared for potentially hot conditions\, even in January. This walk takes place in a well-documented area where scrub jays have gathered over the years. While sightings are common\, they are not guaranteed as these are wild birds. In the interest of safety\, any nearby lightning that results in audible thunder will lead to an immediate cancellation of the tour. \nGuided Experience: Your guide\, Jim Howe\, will provide valuable insights into the Florida scrub ecosystem and emphasize the significance of controlled fires. During the walk\, you’ll have the chance to spot gopher tortoise burrows and unique plant species found exclusively at Johnathan Dickinson State Park (JDSP). \nMeeting Point: We’ll gather less than 1/4 mile from the park entrance\, along the road leading to the Pine Grove Campground. The route follows a once-paved road\, now designated for pedestrian and bicycle traffic only. The walk covers a distance between 1/4 and 1/2 mile\, over gently rolling open scrub terrain. \nEntrance Fee: Please be aware that there is a $6.00 entrance fee per vehicle. \neBird Observations: For those who complete the walk and wish to share their eBird list\, please send it to Paula at Paula@auduboneverglades.org. Your contributions are greatly appreciated. \nRestroom Facilities: Restrooms are available at two locations: the bicycling staging area at the Railroad Track Crossing (porta-potty) and the Visitors Center\, which is approximately 4 miles into the park (restrooms are available here). \nEvent Schedule: This event is held monthly on the first Wednesday of each month. \nCancellation Policy: If you register but find that you are unable to attend\, we kindly request that you cancel your ticket. This opens up the opportunity for others to join. Your consideration is highly appreciated. \nWe look forward to sharing this educational and enriching experience with you as we delve into the fascinating world of the Florida scrub jay and the unique ecosystem of Johnathan Dickinson State Park.
