About this Event

Date: Sunday, 26 January 2025

Location: Orlando Wetlands Park

Leader Names: Bob Montanaro, Bill and Becky Loftus

Trip/area Description: Guides will lead a walking tour of this famous birding location. The Park is a wastewater-treatment wetland that attracts a wide variety of birds, especially large numbers of waterbirds. Songbirds and raptors occur around the tree islands, palm stands and cypress domes. The birds may be approached closely, offering great opportunities for photography. The paths on the levees are dry, and are not open to vehicles, other than bicycles and a tram. We will be walking. Bring drinking water, sunscreen and a hat as the area is open to the sun and can become hot.
