George led 16 birders from Melbourne down to the Vero Beach wetlands on a beautiful Saturday morning for a leisurely walk among the berms. After a couple of hours of great viewing, most of us enjoyed a picnic lunch and reviewed our list for the day. The group spotted 53 species including the prize Snail Kite and least sandpiper. For a complete list see below. Special thanks to George for leading the trip and to Fritz for the photos
