Event description

Leading up to the 125th Christmas Bird Count, SCCF and the Sanibel Captiva Audubon Society are holding bird walks around Sanibel and Fort Myers. Join us at Bunche Beach on Dec. 4 to learn about the shorebirds that call Florida home for the fall and winter. Shorebirds in non-breeding plumage can be challenging, but we have some tips and tricks to help tell them apart. Binoculars recommended!

Bunche Beach is a large mudflat, and we will be there at low tide. Your feet will get wet, so please dress accordingly. The bugs can be bad in the parking area and along the beach but typically are not as bad out on the flats.

Bunche Beach is located at 18201 John Morris Rd. Fort Myers, FL 33908. Parking is $2 an hour, or free if you have a Lee County parking sticker. More information about the park and how to pay can be found here: https://www.leegov.com/parks/beaches/bunche

Founded in 1967, the Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation (SCCF)'s mission is to protect and care for Southwest Florida's coastal ecosystems through our focus on Conservation and Ecosystem Restoration, Water Quality Research, Policy and Advocacy, Sea Turtles and Shorebirds, Native Landscaping, Habitat and Wildlife Management, and Environmental Education.

Thanks to the efforts of many who came before, SCCF is the largest private landowner on Sanibel Island, managing more than 1,800 acres on Sanibel plus over 300 additional acres on surrounding islands and in South Fort Myers and Cape Coral.

Over the last 57 years, SCCF's diverse program areas have grown to include a Marine Laboratory, the Sanibel Sea School, and Coastal Watch.

Community support through membership dues and tax-deductible contributions, in addition to grants and staff-generated revenue, makes our work possible. SCCF is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
