Birds Entertained During Breakfast and Birds Presentation

On Saturday, January 17, participants at the Friends of Tigertail sponsored "Breakfast and Birds" presentation were treated to a lively display of avian behavior.

After describing species specific bird characteristics, birding expert Fran Huxley led the group to the Tigertail Lagoon Beach to practice identification. Typical species such as Sanderlings, Semipalmated Plovers, Tricolor Herons, Snowy and Reddish Egrets, and Osprey were present, and other birds not usually found at the beach also made an entrance. Participants were entertained by the Reddish Egret dance, the hovering and diving Belted Kingfisher and Brown Pelican, the flying behavior of a Loggerhead Shrike, and a fast-moving Palm Warbler. Tigertail Beach remains an outstanding location for bird watching.

Friends of Tigertail will host a second birding presentation on Saturday, March 21, at 9:00 AM. More details can be found on their Facebook page or their website: www.FriendsofTigertail.com.
