On Saturday, February 4th, the Audubon Society of the Everglades (ASE) together with the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) sponsored a guided trip though Stormwater Treatment Area 1 East (STA-1E). Our leader was Chuck Weber who has posted a trip report on the ASE Yahoo Group. You can view Chuck's trip report here:

The highlights of the trip (for me) were the rarities -- Cinnamon Teal and Eurasian Wigeon -- along with some other less rare ducks -- Northern Pintail, Canvasback, Gadwall, American Wigeon, Ring-necked Duck, Northern Shoveler, Mottled Duck, Black-bellied and Fulvous Whistling-Ducks, Blue- and Green-winged Teal. Oh did I mention that we saw a few American Coots? :)
At last count, we had 75 species. Not too shabby.
As is the case with the STA-5 trips coordinated by Hendry/Glades Audubon, these STA-1E trips are by reservation only and are coordinated by Linda Humphries (hlindaase@aol.com). The demand has been so huge that all trips through April are currently full but you can request to be put on the waiting list.
