Dec 6th: Now is the time to visit the LaChua Trail and experience the arrival of the flocks of Sandhill Cranes which presently number 1300+ birds.
I watched them decend on the prairie in groups of 10-23 on this past Sunday. The single swan has been spotted over the Alachua Lake ( binoculars or scope required!) This is the first swan seen in 21 years.
Ther bird expects are working with loooong distants to identify which swan it is! The diffrences between a Tundra Swan and the Trumper swam are more than a challenge at 500 yards.
If anyone gets a "close detail of the bill or feet please let me know.
