Birds, Words, Pics + TV
Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive is a great place for birding, and that includes during the dog days of summer.
The 11-mile drive along the lake’s north shore draws a variety of birds. Sure, there are more birds and more species during fall and winter, but the former muck-farm-turned-wetlands is home to a number of species year-round.
Oh, and alligators … lots and lots and lots of alligators.
I made multiple visits there recently and was surprised by what I saw at this time of year. Take a look:
I recently took a drive down Biolab Road, and I was pleasantly surprised by how many birds were out and about along that stretch.
Overall, there were shore birds I expected to see and some other birds that I was a bit surprised to find so far away from the mainland.
The pair of nesting Bald Eagles I found at the Kissimmee park were there first I have seen in the area since May.
