Naturalist and wildlife photographer Matt Felperin leads a visually rich journey across both coasts of Florida, one of North America’s premier birding destinations. Explore the state’s remarkable range of habitats—from Gulf Coast estuaries and mangrove swamps to Atlantic beaches, wetlands, and inland prairies—and discover why more than 500 bird species have been recorded there.

Felperin showcases some of Florida’s top birding hotspots and parks that travelers can visit on their own, highlighting breeding species, wintering birds, and migrants that use the state as a critical stopover along the Atlantic Flyway. He also touches on memorable vagrants—unexpected visitors often pushed off course by storms or other weather events.

Florida’s distinctive specialties and endemics, including the Florida Scrub-Jay, Snail Kite, Limpkin, and Roseate Spoonbill take center stage through Felperin’s photography and insights. Grab your shades and sunscreen and enjoy a virtual winter escape to survey the Sunshine State’s extraordinary birdlife.
