**Space Coast Birding and Wildlife Festival Weekend**
A group of local trip leaders, tour guides, and industry vendors are planning the return of the SCBWF in 2024. As a ‘warm up’ to the festival’s return the foundational group is conducting a birding weekend to showcase the immense diversity of bird species found in our area. The weekend will include trips from 19-23 January. Space Coast Audubon is providing support through promotion, hosting, and field trip leader involvement.

**TRIP E: Black Point Wildlife Drive**
Trip Leader: Bert Alm
Meet at MINWR Visitor Center 1987 Scrub Jay Way, Titusville. We will spend some time at the Visitor Center for Painted Buntings and other birds that frequent the parking lot. At about 8:45 AM we will carpool into as few cars as possible and head out to Black Point Wildlife Drive. Drivers will need a MINWR or America the Beautiful pass. We will use walkie-talkies to communicate while driving and make frequent stops.
