Special birds at Corkscrew
March
15th
This morning Tom, Mike and I went birding.
Our first stop was Corkscrew Swamp
Sanctuary which has a great boardwalk through a Cypress swamp. We saw a number of herons and egrets but our best bird by far was a Barred Owl that was sitting right next to the
boardwalk. This was the closest and best
view of a Barred Owl ever!
Next, we went to the CREW Bird Rockery
Swamp Trail. We hiked about a mile and saw some other interesting birds and
Mike and Tom took some nice pictures.
Later we met Sharon for lunch and pizza at Oak and Stone. (4 new FOY species, total in Florida 66)
Black-crowned Night Heron
Great Crested Flycatcher
Blue-headed Vireo
Summer Tanager
Great photos. Looks like the wren is collecting moss for a nest. Great shot.
