The Photography Interest Group elected to return to Viera Wetlands this morning. Once again, it was a very nice visit.

While I was sitting around watching the morning news yesterday, I decided I wanted to go check on the Sandhill Crane nests at Viera Wetlands and see whether any chicks have hatched.

I enjoyed Viera Wetlands so much the last time I visited, that when my friend Robert W. suggested we meet there I was more than willing to go again. Here are three more photos showing some of what you can see there.
Walking 'round the Wetlands, 5-17-2014
Even though the birding action in our area seems to be slowing down as summer approaches, we still enjoyed ourselves. We spent some quality time out in nature, and made a few photos we like. Another good photo op day in Central Florida.
St. Johns sunrise, and a ride 'round Viera
There are a lot of the usual birds around. I saw Herons, Egrets, Anhingas, Coots, Grebes, Cormorants, a Caracarra, etc. There are also a lot of winter visitors there, including Kingfishers, Mergansers, and Norther Shovelers.
A very nice Viera morning
We saw the usual Heron and Egret suspects, along with Anhingas, Hawks, Black Crowned Night Herons, American Bitterns, Savannah Sparrows, and Sandhill Cranes. I was able to photograph two new (for me) species – Ring Neck Ducks, and Lesser Scaups.
We also took a turn ’round the click ponds and there was a great deal of activity there. This Cormorant surprised me when he came up with his breakfast.
The Photography Interest Group Visits Viera
Wow – what a day for avian variety and nature lovers! The weather was quite nice too – sunny and temperatures in the mid 50s. There isn’t much nesting going on yet, but we did see an amazing number of both year-round and winter visitor species.
