Recap from Monday’s field trip!

Possum Branch Preserve is a hidden gem tucked away between McMullen Booth Road and the canal that runs between Old Tampa Bay and Lake Tarpon. Multiple ponds, wetlands, grassy meadows, and wooded areas provide rich habitats for a variety of avian species, of which leader Bill Kaempfer found us 42 on this very hot, humid first Monday in October. One pond was teeming with birds: Great Blue Heron, Tricolored Heron, Wood Stork, Killdeer, Spotted Sandpiper, Least Sandpipers, Common Gallinules, & Boat-tailed Grackles. Other highlights included a Prairie Warbler, Red-shouldered Hawks, a very young Yellow-crowned Night Heron, and two Caspian Terns circling over and occasionally diving into a pond.
