Bird Walk & Book Signing at Howell Park

Co-leaders: Brook Byrnes & Sabrina Lehmann

Join us for a bird walk at Howell Park with Deborah Penrose, author of Birding Through Deaf Eyes, followed by a book signing at the picnic tables near the parking lot.

Howell Park, located between Seminole Road and East Coast Drive in Atlantic Beach, FL, is a passive park that has 2,500 ft of nature trails, freshwater streams and picnic areas. There are no restrooms at the park itself, but public bathrooms are available at Atlantic Beach City Hall complex, just across Seminole Road.

We can expect to see American Redstarts, Common Yellowthroats, Yellow-throated Warblers, Northern Parulas, Black and White Warblers, Ovenbirds, Gray Catbirds, Eastern Phoebes, and if we're lucky, maybe a cool thrush.

Be sure to wear comfortable shoes and a hat, and don’t forget to bring water, sunscreen, bug spray and binoculars.
