Recap - Impromptu Lake Apopka Trip

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.
