Whether you’re in the Venice area year-round, seasonally, or occasionally, there are many ways to be involved to experience and learn about local birds, participate in hands-on projects, or actively volunteer.

Venice Audubon Rookery Park

Open every day from dawn to dusk (6:00 am to 9:00 pm), Venice Audubon Rookery Park hosts an active roosting and breeding site for several species of wading birds, a Purple Martin breeding colony and numerous species of birds and wildlife that use the Rookery Park and surrounding County property for nesting and foraging throughout the year. Venice Audubon Rookery Park is an ideal location to observe and photograph birds and wildlife as part of the Great Florida Birding and Wildlife Trail.

Venice Area Audubon Society members serve as caretakers and docents of Venice Audubon Rookery Park in partnership with Sarasota County Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources.
