Birding Winding Waters Natural Area (Florida) 

In 2018 I (Derek) traveled to Florida to play a show at FAU. While I was there, I got to visit the Loggerhead Marinelife Center and had the chance to bird some promising locations including Winding Water's Natural Area. My target species include Snail Kite, Limpkin, Black-bellied Whistling Duck, and Purple Gallinule. Will this pristine habitat lead to a successful day or a disappointment?
