In early April 2026, many Tallahassee residents became aware of a Common Loon stranded in a Southwood stormwater pond. The bird was alert, active, and repeatedly attempting to leave the pond, but it could not get airborne. After several unsuccessful rescue efforts and continued observation, the loon was ultimately captured and released into open coastal water, where it had the space it needed to recover and continue its migration.
Join us at the Tallahassee Senior Center at 6:30 PM, where Ernesto Reyes, a Caribbean Birding Trail Certified Guide, will present on Colombian birds and habitats. The program presentation will begin at 7:00 PM.
Please join us for a guided bird walk at Lake Henrietta! The lake is a good spot to observe whistling ducks, waders, nesting kites, and prothonotary warblers, and offers good photography opportunities over the water and in the forest edges. The eBird hotspot is referred to as Lake Henrietta. We will also get to observe the purple martin nest pole cared for by Apalachee Audubon.
Join us for an afternoon walk on Fern Trail to see who's flying around out there. This will be our last visit to Fern Trail for Birds and Brews this year. Come see what's changed! Loaner binoculars are available!
Join Apalachee Audubon Society board member and local naturalist Nicholas Horton for a guided bird walk at Letchworth-Love Mounds Archaeological State Park in Jefferson County. This unique site combines rich cultural history with excellent birding opportunities. Participants will explore the park's trails while searching for resident and migratory birds, learning bird identification techniques, and discussing the habitats that support North Florida's wildlife.
Juli deGrummond will lead a walk of the shoreline and maritime oak hammock at this amazing stopover for migrating birds, looking for shorebirds along the beach, warblers in the maritime oak hammocks, wading birds, and birds of prey in and around the marsh areas.
Join us for our bi-monthly litter clean-up for the AAS adopted street—Sharer Road!
