Orchard View Park

Birding at Orchard View Park

Join us for a birding adventure led by Beto Matheus as we explore the scenic paved paths of this beautiful park in search of migratory warblers. In years past, we've witnessed an incredible eruption of Red-legged Honeycreepers and Tennessee Warblers, and we’re hopeful for another exciting birding experience this year. Who knows, we might even spot a Black-billed Cuckoo!

This event is open to bird enthusiasts of all ages and abilities. The path is wheelchair and assistive walking device accessible, ensuring everyone can participate. Restrooms are available at the park for your convenience.

About your Guide:

Luis "Beto" Matheus has always been interested in nature and wildlife. Even as a kid growing up in Venezuela, he always kept a copy of "A Guide to the Birds of Venezuela" by Rodolphe Meyer de Schauensee and William H. Phelps (1978), the first bird field guide for any Latin American country, within reach. Yet he only became a "serious" birder around 2006 when he joined his father on a birding trip with Venezuela's Audubon Conservation Society to Yacambú National Park, at the northernmost edge of the eastern Andes. After seeing a male Golden-winged Manakin (Masius chrysopterus) take off in front of him in the cloud forest, he went home, bought a pair of binoculars and was hopelessly hooked...Turned into a fully-fledged bird nerd, Beto has been actively birding ever since, often with his birding parents, serving as a voluntary eBird reviewer for Venezuela since 2008 and joining several Audubon chapters as he moves around for work. A civil engineer working in renewable energy development, Beto has lived in Mexico (Mexico City and Pachuca), Colorado (Boulder) and, now Florida (Boca Raton) with his wife and two teenage kids.
