Kayak event on the Silver River on Friday
Date and Effort: Friday Oct 13, 2017

Here are the results from our birding by kayak event on the Silver River on Friday. Our bird count was recorded by Barbara Schwartz. We had five Audubon and three Florida trail association participants for a total of eight. We had a great group and a good time.

Wood Ducks (pairs): 2
Anhinga (mixed genders; it was often impossible to tell. Up in trees,
          backs to us, underwater, etc): 25 Cormorant (same as above): 20
Ibis: 26
Immature Little Blue Heron: 1
Adult Little Blue Heron: 6
Gallinule: 6
Pied-billed Grebe: 1
Belted kingfisher: 2
Turkey Vultures: 3
Red Shouldered Hawks: 2
Pileated Woodpecker: 2
Hairy Woodpecker (probably female but up in a tall tree): 1
Green Herons: 6
Great Egret: 2 overhead
Green-winged Teal Female: 1
She was lovely; sitting alone on partially submerged tree limb.
          A few of us paddled up for a better
          view and she remained calm and didn’t move.
          An early arrival for winter?
