BIRD WATCHING

A biologist with the Palm Beach County Department of Environmental Resources Management will take birders out at Frenchman’s Forest Natural Area for a “Meet South Florida’s Snowbirds” event. Participants will learn about native birds and their habitats on a leisurely hike ( just a warning, there are no restrooms here) at 12201 Prosperity Farms Road in Jupiter. Binoculars, water, appropriate hiking wear and bug spray should be brought. The event is free, but participants should register on the Eventbrite page at https://bit.ly/2x0FCW0.
