eBird Report – Lakes Regional Park Bird Tour, Jan 5, 2019

Hi All,

This morning was a perfect morning for a bird walk at Lakes Park. Temp. was 67-72 and very little wind. We were treated to watching several Great Blue Herons as they were nest building. Another highlight was the Ruby-throated hummingbird which came into view as soon as Anita did her Hummingbird Dance. Thank you, Anita. Many thanks to all of those who participated and helped find our flying friends. Don’t forget to join Vince McGrath next Lakes Park Bird Walk on Sat., Feb. 2, at 8 AM.

For more information about walks that are offered by Lee County Parks and Recreation, please go to http://www.birdpatrol.org

See you out there!!
Good Birding,
Marie Di Rosa
