This is a very nice wetland, quite close to Fort Lauderdale, and with plenty of birds. The headline item for me were the many
Limpkin, none of which appeared to be scared of people at all. There is a large
White Ibis colony in the main swamp here, adjacent to the Marsh Trail. Also in the heronry were
Tricoloured Heron, Little Blue Heron, Anhinga and
Snowy Egret. While watching the heronry I disturbed a
Smooth-billed Ani, a very nice surprise.
Apart from birds I bumped into a
Nine-banded Armadillo, and had an amazing sighting of a hunting
Bobcat,
see this page for the details.
Limpkin, very confiding birds indeed...
...even the very young ones were unfazed by my presence.
Mottled Duck. A bit boring, but what can you do?
Black-bellied Whistling Duck
White Ibis
Smooth-billed Ani
Common Moorhen with a chick
Alligator. Only a couple visible, but surely many more present.
