Taylor Creek Stormwater Treatment Area Trailead的点评
点评:There is a sign on 441; states Taylor Creek Stormwater Treatment area, just North of Okeechobee, FL. There is a permanent restroom there and a sign indicating the trails and how long each trail is. Not much shade on the trails so be prepared with hates and water. Lots of cattails in the main water sections which is great for the birds. There is a creek running along the berm you walk on with additional water for birds and reptiles. We had a great day. Saw many different birds, and alligators. The Great Blue Herons were very friendly. Although we couldn't see lots of birds in the cattails you sure could hear them. We were blessed to see a kingfisher, green heron, snowy and cattle egrets, Glossy and baby blue and tricolors. Nesting Blue Heron and Blue Herons cleaning themselves on the banks. . The Red shouldered Hawk scared us as he lurched out of a tree, or maybe we scared him. The best spot of the day was seeing a swallow tailed kite soaring above us for a few minutes. This is a gem of a place and we passed several people jogging/running the area. Also people with binoculars like us. We really enjoyed the walk and the experience.
翻译:441 号公路上有个标志,上面写着泰勒溪雨水处理区,位于佛罗里达州奥基乔比以北。那里有一个永久性的卫生间,还有一个标志,上面标明了小径和每条小径的长度。小径上没有多少阴凉处,所以要准备好香蒲和水。主要水域有许多香蒲,对鸟儿来说很棒。您行走的路肩上有一条小溪,里面有额外的水供鸟类和爬行动物饮用。我们度过了愉快的一天。看到了许多不同的鸟和鳄鱼。大蓝鹭非常友好。虽然我们在香蒲里看不到很多鸟,但你肯定能听到它们的声音。我们很幸运地看到了翠鸟、绿鹭、雪鹭和牛背鹭、光泽鹭、淡蓝鹭和三色鹭。筑巢的蓝鹭和蓝鹭在河岸上清洁自己。赤肩鹰从树上猛地跳下来,把我们吓坏了,或者可能是我们吓到了它。当天最美的景色是看到一只燕尾鸢在我们头顶上飞了几分钟。这是一个绝佳的地方,我们经过几个在该地区慢跑/跑步的人。还有像我们一样带着双筒望远镜的人。我们真的很享受这次散步和体验。
