We lead the last
photography hike of the season at Brooker Creek Preserve this Saturday, May 27
starting at 8:30 a.m. This will also conclude our hike series called “Seasons
of Florida”. We start again on the last Saturday of September, 2017 with a new
hiking series.
Our dry season either
broke or came close to breaking some records this year. The lack of rain since
October caused many wetlands visible from the boardwalks to completely dry up.
The main channel, seen from the bridge, still contains water but appears more
like a pond than a creek. Last week Karl spotted a large alligator, Great Blue
Heron, and Anhinga together in that small area. Rains this past week may cause
the creek to refill somewhat. We will see.
The long range
forecast calls for a chance of rain on Saturday, though that will likely change
between now and then. In the event of rain, we stay inside for a presentation
and discussion of nature photography.
