Orange Audubon would like to thank our amazing trip leaders for giving their all, getting up so early in the morning and taking their "job" of making sure participants see the birds so seriously. Our leaders are the best!

Participate in field trips on the Lake Apopka North Shore property and other Central Florida sites. This 20,000-acre St. Johns River Water Management District's lake restoration area is currently the 2nd top eBird hotspot in Florida, only passed by Fort DeSoto Park after Hurricane Ian (Comparison of hotspots). Over 370 species of birds have been sighted on the Lake Apopka North Shore, more than any inland site in the U.S., including the Everglades.  
Only 35–45 minutes from Orlando attractions.
