President’s
Message
- As you know, our chapter
takes a break during June, July
and August. There will be no
members meeting during those
months. A lot of us will be out
of town. Some of us will be
continuing on-going efforts such
as the Least Tern project. So
let’s look at the year thus far.
Our Distribution List for the
dissemination of news contains
62 people. About 50 of them are
Audubon members.
More of our members are taking
an active role in our chapter
operation.
Last month about 40 members were
involved in chapter related
activity. We are now seeing
announcements of meetings and
field trips in the media. We
also have several new people
involved in our Least Tern
project.
In Conservation our Least Tern
project is expanding into all
Beach Nesting Birds. We had
about 30 people attend our
training workshop. We are in the
process of submitting comments
on the Ft. Matanzas management
plan. And we hosted the Audubon
of Florida’s a Northeast
Regional Conservation
Committee’s meeting.
Have a Great Summer.

Welcome
to our site! |
|
We're
delighted you have chosen the official site of the St.
Johns County Audubon Society to stop and browse.
Located in Northeast
Florida, the St. Johns County Audubon Society offers
members and visitors spectacular natural habitat:
seashores and beaches, salt and fresh water marshes,
meadows, rivers, and forests.
Our county
is home to the nation's oldest city - historic St.
Augustine, FL - and our
Bird List contains
over 250 species including eagles, ospreys, black-necked
stilts, painted buntings, swallow-tailed kites, herons,
egrets, hawks, owls,
pelicans,
and many more.
We welcome guests at our
program meetings and
field trips. Weave through our
nest and enjoy! |

Schedule an
Audubon Nature Walk for Your
Area...You’ll be glad you did!
Won’t you invite us to visit your
neighborhood or favorite park?
St. Johns County Audubon members
have been leading two-hour nature
walks all around the county this
spring. The walks are educational,
great for the less skilled birder,
and always lots of fun! We can plan
a morning or late afternoon walk to
suit your fancy. Just help us with
arrangements and invite your
friends. We’ll do the rest.
How are Nature Walks different from
regular monthly field trips?
These walks are only in St. Johns
County and only two hours long.
Thus, they are well-suited to us
older folks, to moms whose children
are in school during the day, and to
anyone who doesn’t have time for
longer weekend field trips. Also, we
look at all facets of nature and not
just birds. We explore the native
plants, various critters, scat, and
tracks. And what we don’t know, we
look up or ask somebody. That’s how
we learn.
Read post-trip reports and species
lists on our website. For example,
our
Davis Shores Nature Walk
produced 42 species in just two
hours in spite of drizzle and gusty
wind. The
Elkton walkers discovered a
surprising diversity of species, and
Alpine Groves County Park was
full of wild edible plants to nibble
on if you were so inclined.
Contact Teddy to schedule a walk.
