The Francis M. Weston Audubon Society leads a guided bird walk at Battery Langdon in Fort Pickens. Winter birds are arriving, so expect scaup, bufflehead and red-breasted merganser on the water and sparrows plus yellow-rumped warblers in the oaks. The walk is mostly even ground with some loose sand. Registration is required and the walk is free, but entering the national seashore costs a park fee.
Before you go
- Fill out the registration form on the Audubon calendar page. Adults 18 and older must register.
- Drive toward Fort Pickens and turn right at Battery Langdon, about 4.1 miles past the pay station.
- Do not turn left and do not go to the fort. Park on the gravel road.
- Be there by 6:30 AM and bring a National Parks Pass if you have one.
