| Black-bellied Whistling Ducks ~ Viera Wetlands |
Another highly recommended birding site is the Viera Wetlands so it was our first stop today. It is water treatment plant and it allows birders to ride, bike or walk along the berms looking at all of the species of birds that call it home. We had heard that it was a great site to see Least Bitterns which would be a life bird for both of us. It was great even in the off season so I can imagine how wonderful it must be in winter and spring. We were excited to see 2 Least Bittern at Viera Wetlands and then another one at the Click Ponds. Seeing the ducks up on the dead palms was cool especially when a second duck came out of the top. There were lots of butterflies over at the Click Ponds in addition to the birds.
