Central Florida Birding by Maxfield Weakley

Learn about the spectacular birds and birding Central Florida has to offer! This presentation will help you understand the differences between resident species, migratory birds, and rare visitors to our part of the Sunshine State. It will also introduce you to ten of our region's best hotspots for birding. Max will cover the basics of birding, why birding is important, and what it takes to get started birdwatching.
