Tropical Audubon Society Field Trips

Tropical Audubon Society offers a diverse lineup of outings and programs of every feather, including: bird, butterfly and plant trips; morning forays, all-day adventures, overnight trips; local outings and expeditions far afield. Registration is required. Please scroll down to sign up for our trips!

Field trips take place rain or shine — remember that rainy days are often “birdy” days, especially during migration. Please note: Some parks charge entrance fees; carpool participants usually share fuel costs; overnight and boat trips carry additional costs. A modest fee may be required for some of the Nature Walks. To facilitate communication with trip leaders, walkie-talkies are recommended for carpool trips. Specifics for each trip are noted below. In most cases, the trip leader has included his/her email address for direct contact.

All trips are led by volunteer Tropical Audubon Society leaders. Unless otherwise indicated, they are free and open to the public, and reservations are not necessary. 

When possible, we indicate trips that are led by bilingual guides. 

All field trip participants are expected to practice and promote respectful, enjoyable, and thoughtful birding as defined in the Code of Birding Ethics.

Note: For trip cancellations, please notify Brian Rapoza at fieldtrips@tropicalaudubon.org.

COVID-19 NOTES:

  • We follow the CDC guidelines in place at the time of the field trip.

  • We strongly encourage all participants to be fully vaccinated.
