Due to park closure because of Tropical Storm Nicole, this trip has been cancelled. We will reschedule this for another month.

Location: 429 State Park Road, Sopchoppy Hwy, Sopchoppy, FL 32358

Description: Ochlockonee River State Park features hundreds of acres of intact upland pine forest containing Red-cockaded Woodpeckers, Brown-headed Nuthatches, and Bachman’s Sparrows. We will walk the pine flatwoods loop around the park (approximately 3 miles).

Please meet in the main parking lot by the Dead River at 8:30 to sign the liability waiver. Bring water, snacks, binoculars, sunscreen, a camera if you’d like, and dress in layers as it may be chilly. We’ll plan to bird for 2-3 hours, depending on our pace.
