Southern
Florida in 2010 February 27 - March 7, 2010
Here is your excuse to escape winter for a leisurely
birding vacation. We'll visit Florida hotspots
for Limpkin (below), Reddish
Egret, Roseate Spoonbill (photo above), Wood Stork, Purple Gallinule,
Short-tailed Hawk, Snail Kite, Swallow-tailed Kite, thousdands of shorebirds,
Red-cockaded Woodpecker, Florida Scrub Jay, Scissor-tailed Flycatcher,
Western Kingbird, Painted Bunting and various other Florida
specialties.
This trip is timed for a rare visit to the famed
Stormwater Treatment Area 5 near Clewiston, Forida. It is arguably
the most staggering collection of birds concentrated anywhere in
the state. Birders who visit STA-5 emerged changed for life (or, at
the very least, quite contented).
Group
Size: This outing is limited to
10 participants. (Vermont Bird tours now limits our group
sizes to 10 birders, which provides a great small-group experience
for everyone.)
Price:$2,175
for single occupancy, $1,975 for double occupancy. Includes eight nights
lodging, breakfasts, park entrance fees, birding in a small group,
snacks and other goodies.
Transportation: Transportation
is not included in the trip price. Vermont Bird Tours will provide
one six-passenger van whose cost will be shared equally by its passengers.
We recognize that some of you prefer not to attend birding trips in
vans. We've got you covered: Clients who wish to drive can carpool
in their own rental vehicles. Bryan will help organize that.
