Duval County. Observers: m.ob. Directions: Huguenot Memorial Park is located

Once past the entry gate, follow the main road along the St. John's River

until it crosses over to the bayside beyond the campground. Once you access

the bay shore, TURN LEFT, pass through the row of pilings and park on the

Family Beach above the high tide line. Secure your vehicle then hike east

along the boundary fence as it traces the shoreline east then north along

the bay's east side. After a 5-8 minute walk, you will sight a small patch

of cord grass high on the tide / wash flats to your left. Please stay behind

barriers and park in designated places. Fees: $1.00/person before 10:00

a.m., $3.00/car after 10. Park open 8AM-8PM.



 



Incidents are being reported of photographers/birders approaching the bird

ahead of the birding group and forcing it further back on the flats. Please

observe the obvious consideration for others and for the welfare of the

bird.
