Saturday Bird Walks at Mead Garden

Mead Botanical Garden in Winter Park is hosting another free Saturday bird walk at 8 a.m. on April 25, with Orange Audubon Society volunteers leading the outing. (meadgarden.org) The walks run every Saturday in April and typically last two to three hours at a relaxed pace. Mead’s event listings place the birding program at 1300 South Denning Drive in Winter Park. (meadgarden.org) Orange Audubon Society members guide the walks and describe them as part of the spring migration season, when birds move through Central Florida. Mead’s calendar lists the April series as open to the public at no charge. (meadgarden.org) Mead Botanical Garden has made these walks a recurring spring and fall program, with Saturday outings in April and October. Orange Audubon’s field-trip page also lists Mead Botanical Garden as a regular stop on its local birding schedule. (meadgarden.org) (orangeaudubonfl.org) The garden is already producing recent bird reports this month. eBird, the Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s bird database, shows multiple checklists from Mead Botanical Gardens on April 20, 2026, including lists of 22, 17 and 14 species. (ebird.org) Outside guides describe Mead as a migration stop with habitat around the creek, amphitheater and butterfly garden that can draw a mix of resident and passing birds. A 2025 Orange Audubon video said the group had been hosting April bird walks there for the past 10 years.
