Leroy Wright Field Trip
February 20, 2023 @ 8:00 am - 9:30 am
Join Megan Berg for a walk Monday, February 20, 2023, at Leroy Wright Park in Cocoa.
From the GFBWT website: This Brevard County park on the broad St. Johns River floodplain provides a vantage of the river to look for waders like Wood Storks and Little Blue Herons, migratory ducks such as Blue-winged Teal, and shorebirds like Black-necked Stilts. Sandhill Cranes, Limpkins and Crested Caracara are regularly encountered and Snail Kites have been recorded. Other species to look for include Anhinga, Pied-billed Grebe (winter), Sora (winter) and Glossy Ibis. Look for American Alligators and River Otters. Bird the park’s waterfront, but also check the gravel boat launch area (Leroy Wright Recreation Area) across the road (on the north side of SR 520) for a different, quieter view. Boat traffic is busy on weekends (including airboats), so for a quieter visit head to this site on a weekday.
This site has 187 species reported in eBird overall.
We will meet at 8:00 am at the parking lot near the Leroy Wright boat launch.
