Educational sunset birding cruises planned
Captiva Cruises and the Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation will offer a series of educational sunset birding cruises, departing from McCarthy’s Marina, at 11401 Andy Rosse Lane, Captiva.
While cruising the Pine Island Sound, participants will hear about the ecology of the back bay estuary, learn about the SCCF’s shorebird monitoring program, watch birds coming in to roost for the night, identify birds seen along the way and receive updates on the islands’ bird populations.
The following cruises are planned:
– Jan. 20 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.
– Feb. 16 from 4:45 to 6:45 p.m.
– March 4 from 5 to 7 p.m.
Tickets are $45 per person and $35 for ages 2-12.
The proceeds will help to support the SCCF’s shorebird program.
