  GTM Research Reserve Marineland Field Office invites the public to join Diane Reed for a bird walk titled "Observations of a Life-long Birder" in lieu of a lecture. Migratory birds and marsh wading species will be the priority with a wide diversity of species observed during this easy-paced, two-hour walk. The walk will take place along the River to Sea Preserve trail in Marineland. Relying on bird behaviors and bird song, Reed, an avid birder since the 1990s, will share a few secrets of the trade she has learned along the way including easy ways to identify birds.
  Plan to meet Reed at the River to Sea Preserve parking lot on the west side of Hwy A1A, located at the southern end of the town of Marineland. See a temporary event sign posted at the entrance driveway. Please wear closed toe shoes and feel free to bring binoculars and field guides are helpful for identifying bird.

He has extensive experience in southern ecosystems and investigation of wildfire burn severity, remote sensing mapping, and fire management impacts on forests and soil carbon. His PhD from the University of Florida is in fire science and forest resources.
