Viera Wetlands Field Trip Report
Posted by admin on 24 Nov 2011 at 11:47 pm | Tagged as: birding
Eleven of us, including two new folks we met at the November meeting, gathered for a relaxing day at Viera Wetlands. The day was mostly cloudy and the high temp was about 80 degrees. The wind was up, probably about 10-15 mph. Great weather for birding.
We hadn’t heard anything about the Masked Duck that had been frequenting the place for the last couple of winters,so we didn’t expect it. But we had hoped to see the Crested Caracara. No joy! Somewhat disappointing. But we did have two really good sightings, a group of Horned Grebes and a Peregrine Falcon.
In all, we saw 62 species. To see the full list as well as some photos, click the picture of the Loggerhead Shrike.
