We had a wonderful turn out for our Caloosahatchee Creeks Preserve East followed by a tour of Powell Creek Preserve. We had first time birders, experts and everything in between. Unfortunately, it was not a very birdy day. A big lack of Warblers, But, I think everybody got to see the Red-headed Woodpeckers, which is always a thrill, and the Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers.
There were a lot of people for the narrow boardwalk at Caloosahatchee Creek East., but everybody trooped along, and seemed to have a good time, even though it didn’t feel like November weather. And everybody that came to Powell Creek Preserve gets a gold star for braving the sunny, hot trail.
Thank you everybody for coming to support the club and helping me to ID some of the birds, & I hope to see you again next year.
Sincerely,
Barney Bontecou
