Crooked River State Park - Nature Hike

Join us Saturday, Sept 29 from 9AM-11AM for a nature hike at the Old Weed and Ready Plantation Rookery in St. Marys.  We'll look for birds as they transition from nesting to migratory species.  We'll see many butterflies and search for their caterpillars and cocoons on their host plants.  Native Passion flower runs rampant here and we should see lots of Gulf Fritillaries and hopefully, Zebra Longwings - Florida's official state butterfly. Bring water, bug spray, camera, a hat, comfortable hiking shoes and a butterfly net, if you have one.  This is a moderate hike; we'll walk about 3 miles. Binoculars provided.  Reservations required.  912-882-8531.  Meet us at the Rookery or CRSP office. $5 program fee. Park pass not required.
