This is one trip that I had heard about the year prior to joining the Caloosa Bird Club and it was with great anticipation that I boarded the bus to go to Green Cay.
What a beautiful setting with a lot of wildlife to observe, you be the judge....
What a nice welcome this was! |
So much ground to cover or should I say boardwalk....and so little time. |
The wildlife is so close and feels quite comfortable just BEing. There were many walkers going by quickly, the birds/ducks don't seem to mind at all and might just be entertained by watching us. |
Those turtles always make me smile with their 'uppitty' air about them. |
Check my feet out - I bet you can't beat that! |
Piggy back riding. |
It was really sweet to come upon this shady little corner and to be able to watch the Painted Bunting feeding - they are such a bright palette. |
A White Ibis with its breeding plumage. |
Very cute and so delighted to be able to watch this little Common Gallinule Chick...ahem, ahem, sorry but this little guy is really a downy coot chick....my bad. |
The elusive Least Bittern treated us to some nice sightings. |
The Sora on the other end stayed well hidden. |
The Red-winged Blackbirds sang all around us - showing their bright colors. |
"Ahhhh....a good stretch always feels so good." |
"Are you looking at me?" |
The club's mascot.....a Green Heron |
What a great spot! www.pbcgov.com/parks/nature/green_cay_nature_center/
The next time you happen to be in Palm Beach County, I highly recommend a visit.
