Jim Rogers, a local scrub jay expert and Venice Area Audubon Chapter member, will guide us through the park to the areas that scrub jays have been seen. He will tell us about the unique family life of the scrub jays and explain how they are adapted to the scrub habitat.   Jim volunteers for Audubon Florida's Jay Watch program and the Oscar Scherer scrub-jay census program.  During our walk, Jim will share how the scrub jay census works, why banding is important, and much more.  

There is a Park entry fee of $5 per car.  Meet at the park Nature Center.  The trails are sandy.  Walks cover about 2 miles and take about 2 hours.
