Guide to the Great Florida Birding Trail : East Section

The Great Florida Birding Trail project, sponsored by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, seeks to unify existing and new birding sites on a 2,000-mile trail through the state. This easy-to-follow guidebook showcases 136 car-accessible birding sites in eastern Florida, including the Jacksonville and Orlando metropolitan areas. The sites, organized into clusters of five to ten, are all within an hour's drive of one another and are identified on individual as well as regional maps. Each site description includes directions, hours of operation, seasonal birding opportunities, and other information essential for a successful outing. The conservation needs of each area, bird-watching ethics, and resources for additional information are also covered. Book jacket.
