Birding Trip to Tom Varn Park

301 Darby Ln, Brooksville, FL 34601-3178, United States

We’ll meet in the front parking lot off West Jefferson Street at 6:15 a.m. (predawn!) and listen for migrating birds calling as they fly by. Later we’ll search for migrant birds in trees there and continuing on to adjacent Bud McKethan Park. Free, open to all. Make reservations with Ron: rsmithbirds@gmail.com or 727-657-9154.
