Male Prothonotary Warbler with
Bug and Four Leg Bands |
The May 11 date of the 50th Anniversary of
Beidler Forest began with temperatures in the 50's and the unseasonably cool weather with sunny conditions made made for a glorious day to spend in the swamp. A day full of scheduled events began with a guided walk, included the banding of a prothonotary warbler, and finished off with a Who's Who of Audubon at a 2 PM ceremony at the Meeting Place on the boardwalk next to a 1000-year old Cypress Tree. Wildlife sightings during the day did not disappoint including warblers, snakes, gators, damsel flies and some visitors saw much more. Since May 11 fell on the Second Saturday, their monthly policy of free admission allowed for everyone to enjoy their visit for free.
