What a beautiful Saturday we had for our Fall Bird Tour on the water! We were grateful to have two amazing captains from American Pro Diving Center on the Manatee Swim Center and Paddletails Waterfront Adventures tour boats. Accompanying them were experts from our local Audubon chapter!

To those who purchased tickets for this tour, thank you! We hope you had an amazing morning. The participants day consisted of observing 42 different species of birds, double rainbows, a manatee, an alligator and dolphins followed by an awesome hot breakfast prepared and served by our board members! All of that happened before 10:30am!

If you missed this tour, make sure you are following our page and watch for our next tour in the spring!
