Itinerary TAS Trip Feb 20, 2010

: Meet: at 8:00am at the airboat concession on the north side of Tamiami Trail (US 41), one mile west of the Shark Valley entrance. There is an entrance fee to Shark Valley. Bring lunch.

From there we will return to Shark Valley as bird the main trail. Fee to Park or your pass is needed.

Following the group will discuss options. Loop Road is in barely passable condition for cars. SUV birding will take 5-6 hours.

Scout trip today resulted in Loop road. Many flocks of winter warblers, however only 7 species, Barred Owl (3) (great looks),Robin (100), Tufted titmouse (6),Tree swallows (1000^), Great crested Flycatcher (4). Airboat pull off Snail Kite (2).

My cell is 413 562 3976.

Remember: Full tank of gas, to do Loop road. This Loop road is bathroom challanged.
