Visit Estero Lagoon Preserve with a Bird Patrol Guide
On Saturday, March 28 at 8 a.m., join a bird patrol guide at a critical wildlife area for a two- to three-hour free walk in the Estero Lagoon Preserve at the south end of Fort Myers Beach.
Expect to see shorebirds, wading birds, gulls, terns and possible peregrine falcon on the tour. Wear beach shoes for possible wading and bring binoculars, sun protection, bottled water, and your love of nature. It is provided in cooperation with Lee County Parks and Recreation.
Interested parties are asked to meet in the northwest corner of Santini Plaza parking lot just south of Holiday Inn on Ft. Myers beach.
The Estero Lagoon Preserve is one of only 15 Florida wildlife refuges designated a “Critical Wildlife Area” because it is an important over-wintering area for at least 68 species of shore and wading birds. During spring and fall migrations, this is one of the stopping points for the millions of shorebirds that make the journey.
