Birding Winding Waters Natural Area (Florida)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 сер 2024
- In 2018 I (Derek) traveled to Florida to play a show at FAU. While I was there, I got to visit the Loggerhead Marinelife Center and had the chance to bird some promising locations including Winding Water's Natural Area. My target species include Snail Kite, Limpkin, Black-bellied Whistling Duck, and Purple Gallinule. Will this pristine habitat lead to a successful day or a disappointment?

I need to check out that wetland when I'm in South Florida. Thanks for giving me a new place to go birding there. Great video as always 👍
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching! I had a great time there, hope you’re able to go check it out 👍
GREAT birdwatching!!
Thanks! Thanks for watching! :)
another very well done video.
Todd Leech thanks, Todd!
Great job finding your target birds!
Thank you!
Another great video! Thanks!
Kevin Ash thanks for watching!
Purple Gallinules are so pretty. I always wanted to see one in real life!
Jacob Wixom they are amazing! What’s crazy, is that we actually had one show up in Wisconsin a few years ago. Some of the pictures used in this video are actually from that individual. It was a real treat for everyone in the state who saw it.
Great video
Thanks!
Great video. I have limpkins in the marshy canal behind my home and they can squak/scream for hours and hours on end all night long.
MJ InFl thanks! Haha, that was not what I expected. How does it compare to Barn Owl calls?
Barn owl sound more like a loud insect where limpkins sound more like screams of something being murdered. It’s loud and high-pitched and goes on for hours.😁
During my last visit to Florida, I was fortunate to see a common ground dove up close. It landed just near the pool where I was relaxing, and spent a minute or so looking around the patio. I couldn't believe how tiny it was compared to a morning dove.
Vanessa G awww jealous! That’s so cool!
