Wow!! What a fantastic day! A tremendous turnout. Thank all of you who came and participated in the activities and those of you who didn't or couldn't you missed a great day to be out and to enjoy the surroundings at Chinsegut. Great birding areas, too. Just off the back porch was a sit back and watch them come in to the feeders and water. We had thirty species including the Red-headed Woodpeckers and the Sandhill Cranes that came up to the water. The list can be viewed at this eBird link.
This day was not just for birding. Citrus County Audubon and Hernando Audubon did this "Baby Bird Shower" for Michele Kline of HOPE Wildlife Rehabilitation. She brought 3 raptors to instruct a full house of eager listeners on the habits and habitats of each bird. It was our 1st annual fund raiser strictly for HOPE of this type and with the smashing success another one for next year is in the works.
Thank all the contributors for this worthy event. And kudos to both Chapters and the members who put this together. There was much concerted effort from both sides and would be difficult to list all names, But you all know who you are and be it known by this proclamation that you 'done' good! Congratulations to all and looking forward to next year.
