Next Up:

Ferndale Preserve, Friday February 1, meet at Belk's parking lot 7:30 am, Half Day. This is the club's first time at Ferndale and it is not yet open to the public. We will be met there by Gallius Quigley, Lake County Park Ranger (and a very good birder).

Reminder: Saturday is our January Club Meeting at Paradise Ct. 9:00 AM ( you might want to arrive early as it is membership renewal time). Remember you must be a current member to go on Special Events. Saturday's speaker is our very own Norm Lantz who will talk about "Warblers of Central Florida". We will start the short meeting promptly at 9:00.
