Saturday, Oct. 18. Fall Migration Birding at Port St. Joe and Cape San Blas

We hope to see some migrating birds, including hawks, and lots of shorebirds along the bay and Gulf front. Meet at 9:15 a.m Eastern time (8:15 Central) at Frank Pate Park by the rest rooms. This is near the lighthouse and boat ramp. Allow about 1 hour to get there from Panama City. We will also walk the boardwalks at Salinas Park on the southside of the bay. Expect easy walking along paved paths, grassy and sandy areas and boardwalks, mostly. Afterwards we will eat lunch in Port St. Joe, possibly Pepper’s Mexican Grill and Cantina, 309 Reid Ave. (the main street 1 block north of Hwy 98). But we will make that decision at the end of our birding. We should be back in Panama City by 3:30pm.
