Colored Sands Birding

The birding at this wonderful preserve is amazing. White-eyed Vireos, Savannah, Lark, and Vesper Sparrows are just a few of the birds that call Colored Sands home. The Sugar River cuts through the preserve and the habitat variety is directly linked to the diversity of birdlife.

The biggest draw to this preserve is the bird banding station. Close-up bird encounters by the gracious volunteer banders that happily show and discuss the various birds. This is unique from most other bird banding stations that we know of.
