Here's just a few of the exciting birds that can be see at Lake Apopka. I announced Wednesday night at the meeting that I planned to make an impromptu trip to Lake Apopka. Six birders showed up and were not disappointed. One of the participants got 4 life birds for the day. We started out at the gate entrance on Lust Rd and got great shots of the Ash-throated Flycatcher. He was a very willing poser. We birded that area for some time and continued down the trail.The Krider's Red-tailed Hawk, Broad-winged Hawk, Merlin, Fulvous whistling Ducks, 2 Bufflehead (rare), Kestrel, Barred Owl, Merganser, Teal, Ring-necked Ducks; and more. All totaled 62 species for the day. |
