We’ll meet at Pine Island Park, when the gate opens at 8:30 a.m. We hope to see some early migrating shorebirds. Later we will go to nearby Bayport Park. There are rest room and drinking water at both parks.

Please note: the entrance fee for Pine Island is $5 and for Bayport Park is $10. If you expect to visit these parks again within a year, it will save you money to buy a park pass for all Hernando County parks at $53.25, including tax. Contact Hernando County Department of Parks and Recreation, 16161 Flight Path Dr., Brooksville, FL 34604, or 352-754-4031. Rest rooms and drinking water are available at both parks.
