  Here's Your Chance to Be Out on Sarasota's Beautiful Bays to Observe and Learn about our Nesting Birds! 

  April is an excellent month to see Florida's baby birds being cared for in their natural habitat.  An Audubon guide will help us identify birds and explain the nesting process. 

  We will travel by boat from the Bayfront Park docks just south of Marina Jack's, onto Sarasota Bay, and then Roberts Bay.  During nesting season (December-May) the Rookery Islands are a haven for numerous wading birds and waterfowl, including herons, egrets, ibis, ducks and pelicans.  This event is fair-weather dependent, so there is a chance  of needing to reschedule.  Please dress comfortably and bring binoculars, a hat and sunscreen.

  $35 per person fee for the tour.

  NO REFUNDS ON CANCELLATIONS AFTER APRIL 9, 2026.

  An optional self-funded lunch will follow at O'Leary's Tiki Bar and Grill at Bayfront Park at 1:30 pm. 

  

  Notes: 

  • Park at the Bayfront Park parking area - use the Ringling Blvd entrance off of Bayfront Drive.

  We look forward to seeing you at our CCSM Drop-In Luncheon in Venice!

  A fair number of our club members live south of Sarasota, so we thought we'd head to Venice!  We will be outdoors in a covered area at Dockside. Meet us there at 11:30!  Enjoy the fresh air. Later you can hunt for shark's teeth.
