Lake Woodruff Drive-thru




We had the opportunity to join a "caravan" around Lake Woodruff NWR, one of our favorite spots to bird in EastCentral Florida. Many of the participants were members of our "club-away from home" the West Volusia Audubon. Though overcast and threatening to rain most of the trip, we did manage to get great sightings of several Soras working the edge of the canals, two pairs of nesting Sandhill cranes, many pied-billed grebes (more than I've ever seen in one outing) and the usual large numbers of herons and egrets. One Great egret was especially kind and gave us a very close fly-by for the camera. As we finished up the trip, the rains finally arrived as if on cue. A very cooperative venture from Mother Nature.
