Any South
Floridian looking for an outing next week ought to consider the Florida Keys
Birding and Wildlife Festival, which opens Tuesday and runs through Sept. 30. The
Keys offer the last ground in the USA
in the fall migration of birds headed to the Caribbean or Central or South America, and thousands of birds pass through,
including some not seen any other time in the subtropics. The festival is aimed
at families and has the fringe benefit of introducing people to parts of the
Keys they might not have seen before. Read the full report here.
