South Florida Birds
Birds Galore and a Few Gators, Too
Group Leader - Roger Devore
February 10-14, 2010
8 Participants
The largest remaining subtropical wilderness in the continental United States is located in South Florida. Swamps, marshes, wet and dry prairies, hardwood hammocks, pinelands, mangrove forests, and the Gulf of Mexico will provide fabulous settings for all of the wildlife we should encounter. The workshop is scheduled at a time that should find the seasonal bird populations in the area at their peak. The island lodging Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge’s 291 species includes a multitude of migratory songbirds and a large population of roseate spoonbills. Corkscrew Swamp is home to swallow-tailed kites, wintering painted buntings, nesting wood storks and alligators. Big Cypress National Preserve supplies habitat for numerous large wading birds, alligators, black bears and the endangered Florida panther. And, of course, there are the glades that seem to go on forever, with their large winter bird populations, including, but not limited to, egrets, herons, anhingas, cormorants, ibis, spoonbills and storks, and alligators and crocodiles existing side-by-side. Venice Rookery provides unique opportunities to observe and photograph nesting birds such as great blue herons, great egrets, anhingas, and many more. Roger has been leading workshops in South Florida for seven years and is intimately familiar with the best places for the best birds.
