Please join us as we venture through the Brevard Zoo to spot, identify and record the birds that have flown in to become acquainted with the residents of the zoo. We’ll meet outside the main Zoo entrance near the membership window and divide into teams. Each team will be assigned a trail or area of the zoo to complete their count. If you prefer to sit and observe, we’ll also have designated areas for that option as well. Half way through the morning we’ll meet at the Conversation Wishing Well (behind the snack bar, adjacent to train boarding area) and compare notes to adjust trails as needed. Our group will bird for 2 hours and then meet at the picnic tables outside the zoo for snacks or picnic lunch. For those who want to continue on, we’ll get our hands stamps for reentry and can return to enjoy visiting the zoo residents and the recently opened Dinosaur Trail special exhibit. In appreciation for providing the combined bird count list to the Zoo all participants will be entered in a raffle and will get a conservation quarter to vote for your favorite animal.
