30 degrees and we still had 15 and 1/2 birders. The granddaughter of Fred & Carol Kirk was a real trooper. She walked most of the 2 mile trek taking in all surroundings. Grandmother pointed out to her many plants and other interesting facts along the way.
It did get a bit warmer as we progressed along the trail. CCAS has not done this trip for several years as it seems we have neglected the preserve. We were afforded the opportunity to traverse this trail, thanks to Jim & Eileen who have set foot on most of Central Florida's birding areas.
There was a fallout of great birds just beyond the gate. Blue-gray Gnatcatcher,s Ruby-crowned Kinglets, Northern Parulas, and Hooded Warbler, .We were in this spot for 1/2 hour or more. Traveling on White-eyed and Red-eyed Vireos. First of the season Yellow-throated vireos seemed to be everywhere.

The Swallow-tailed Kite gave us a fly-over which was a FOS for several members. The eBird link for the 33 species is here.
