Mike Weisensee will be leading a Peace River Audubon field trip (free & open to the public) on Saturday, October 21 to Lemon Creek Wildflower Preserve at 8AM. The 80-acre preserve located on the Cape Haze peninsula is managed by the Lemon Bay Conservancy and contains a variety of upland habitats with several fresh water ponds that feed into the salt-water of Lemon Creek connecting to the gulf at Lemon Bay. Ebird reports 177 species seen there including recent sightings of the American Redstart, Northern Parula, Common Yellowthroat, Yellow-throated Warbler, Roseate Spoonbill, Bald Eagle and Least Bittern!
