What a beautiful day here on the Space Coast of Brevard County! Our average daytime temperatures for this week are forecast to be in the high 70's, with low in the mid 50's at night. As a reminder, here are some clothing and field trip tips to make your experience at the 18th Annual Space Coast Birding and Wildlife Festival more enjoyable:
Plan to layer your clothing. . It could be chilly out on the
water on kayak and boat trips, so dress warmly. Be sure to bring rain gear if you are going on the pelagic trip! More than likely the wind will blow and spray will fly. The Gymnatorium can be chilly too. Bring a sweater or a jacket if you are an exhibitor.
• The field trip staging area is in front of the Gymnatorium. Bus trips will depart from that area. Carpool groups will meet there. You will be directed to your bus location by the Transportation Monitors, who will be available for each departure. Departure times are firm - arrive 15 to 20 minutes early.
• Please bring sunglasses, sunscreen, a hat, insect repellent, and rain gear (just in case). It is recommended for field trips that you wear comfortable shoes/sneakers, comfortable shirts, and long pants (protection against insects and thorns).
• Don’t forget your camera, binoculars, or other equipment that will make your
festival experience more memorable.
PLEASE NOTE: BOOTS ARE RECOMMENDED ON SOME FIELD TRIPS. WE HAVE HAD A WET WINTER HERE ON THE SPACE COAST OF BREVARD COUNTY. photo by Tom Dunkerton
