National Go Birding Day falls on the last Saturday of April, inviting birders of all experience levels to go outside and turn their eyes to the skies. Central Florida is home to myriad avian residents, from petite warblers and woodpeckers to formidable birds of prey. In many outdoor destinations, look out for sandhill cranes, great blue herons, red-bellied woodpeckers, barred owls, red-shouldered hawks, grackles, red-winged blackbirds and osprey. Pack a birding guide, binoculars, or a camera with a long lens to document sightings when heading out.
