American Oystercatcher Frenzy at Cedar Key


Sarasota Audubon's recent Cedar Key trip yielded an exciting array of species. According to Rick Greenspun, Jeanne Dubi and the rest of the crew, the highlight was over 300 American Oystercatchers on one sandbar!!! Hundreds of Western Sandpipers, Marbled Godwits and Avocets and other usual plovers and peeps and one of those funny colored Laughing Gulls. If you get the chance you gotta go.

The group went out on the Tidewater Tours. Hope we'll catch you on the next trip, or go up on your own for a quiet and beautiful weekend away from it all.

Check out our website for latest news on upcoming trips.  Merrit Island National Wildlife Refuge, Puerto Rico and Costa Rica are coming up in the next few months and early 2010.
