Protocol: Traveling
35.0 mile(s)
Comments: Out for a drive with mother-in-law & father-in-law on the roads around Myakka State Park. I was mainly hoping to see crested caracara after reading that a couple were resident in the area, however I also read that one of those birds had been poisoned, either way I didn't see my target bird although it was an interesting area of ranchland to drive through.
Weather: bright, sunny, warm.
13 species
Wood Stork 14 all in small drainage ditch off Clay Gully Road, feeding in the water with the egrets. A good number of an impressively sized species, causing me to count carefully.
Anhinga X - one or two visible from the road through the state park.
Great Egret X
Cattle Egret X
Black Vulture X - including a few that were raiding the rubbish bins left out on the road!
Turkey Vulture X
Osprey X
Red-shouldered Hawk X
Sandhill Crane 2 feeding in the fields of the ranches.
Belted Kingfisher 1 along the same ditch as the storks.
American Kestrel X
American Crow X
Fish Crow X
