I'll be in SE Florida for 10 days at the end of January. Does anyone know of organized birding trips, perhaps run by the local Audubon Society chapter, that exist at this time of year? Special pointers to particularly good areas to visit would also be appreciated. Of course, I know about the Everglades: this request is for local spots, less than a one hour drive from Ft. Lauderdale. -- --- Tom Ostrand Siemens Corp. Research ---

Call Tropical Audubon House, 5530 SW 72 Street, South Miami, (305)666-5111. Mon 9-3, TueWedThuFri 9-5. They have a tape with info if you call them out of hours. >Special pointers to particularly good areas to visit would >also be appreciated. Of course, I know about the Everglades: >this request is for local spots, less than a one hour drive >from Ft. Lauderdale. What you need is a. Jim Lane, "A Birder's Guide to Florida". Still the visiting birder's bible. Not for sale in regular stores ; available at bookshops at Visitor Centers at Everglades Nat Pk and local NWR's (Loxahatchee). Presumably also at Trop.Aud.Soc. (see above). If you want it before you leave, call ABA Sales at 1-800-634-7736 (9 to 6 MST 7 days a week). They accept phone orders. b. Connie Toops & Willard Dilley, "Birds of South Florida". This specifically lists (sub)urban Miami/FtL birding spots. You *might* find that at the local B Dalton, if not, see above. >-- > --- Tom Ostrand Siemens Corp. Research ---
