Florida is part of the “Atlantic Flyway,” a migratory flight path that covers more than 3,000 miles from the Arctic to the Caribbean and South America. Thanks to Gainesville's diverse ecosystems, including large lakes, wetlands, forests and prairies, birds — and, naturally, birders — flock to the area. Discover all the hotspots in the area plus fun events at local breweries (Birds + Brews) and more.
