Prarie Creek Preserve

Please join the Peace River Audubon Society for our final
Walkabout of this season to Prairie Creek Preserve on May
5th, 2009. This is a new Conservation Charlotte property.
It consists of a variety of upland habitats so we'll be walking
through dry prairie lands to Prairie Creek, and along the
creek bed. Please meet at the gate off Hwy. 17 N at 8 AM.
This is a 5 mile dirt road and there are many species we can
be looking for as we carpool to the Preserve. We usually see
sandhill cranes, caracara, meadowlarks and northern bobwhite.
When we reach the scrub oak area we may see scrub jays.
Then we will head down to the creek, looking for hawks, barred
owls, warblers etc. Don't forget your long pants, hiking shoes,
drinking water, sunscreen, and insect repellent.

Directions: Prairie Creek Preserve is located on Hwy 17 N,
exactly 5.3 miles after the Winn Dixie shopping center on
Bermont Road. There will be 2 brown signs saying Prairie
Creek Preserve on the right. Drive through the gate and
park on the left just inside the gate. We'll carpool from there.
Free to the public and non-members are welcome. For our
complete scheduleand more information schedule please visit PeaceRiverAudubon.org.
