Join the Festival crew and your fellow birders and bring your friends and family for a relaxing afternoon at Fox Lake Park. You can meander over to the lake and see a familiar bird or two making themselves at home in this beautiful natural setting.
R.G.Evans will entertain you with some familiar toe-tapping music and sentimental songs. Eagle Optics, Swarovski Optik and the panel of celebrity judges will announce the winner of the Space Coast Birding and Wildlife Festival Digiscoping Contest.
After a great meal complete with scrumptious seafood from Dixie Crossroads Seafood Restaurant and delicious Southern Bar-B-Q with all the fixings served by the gang from Hot Stuff Catering, you can settle in for an outstanding Keynote Presentation by Dr. John Fitzpatrick, Director of the Ornithological Laboratory at Cornell University.
Dr. Fitzpatrick's subject will be "How Ivory-billed Woodpeckers and Other Birds Are Helping Save the World." Share with John the rediscovery and the controversies it has sparked. Hear the latest news on searches for new populations around the southern U.S., including an ongoing investigation in the Florida Panhandle. Learn what this spectacular "Lord God Bird" teaches us about both human nature and environmental protection.
