Descrição

Orlando Wetlands is a large wetlands treatment facility that uses aquatic plants to polish already treated wastewater before discharging it into the St. Johns River. The many ponds where the wastewater is treated offer a rich supply of food for all types of animals. In particular, water birds such as ducks, herons, wading birds and Osprey can be observed searching for food, building nests and breeding. In winter Least Bittern and American Bittern are possible.

The Cypress Boardwalk runs through part of the area. Many birds can be seen from a short distance. For example Little Blue Heron, Tricolored Heron, Reddish Egret, Purple Gallinule, Sandhill Crane, Anhinga, Double-crested Cormorant, Limpkin, Roseate Spoonbill, Wood Stork, White Ibis, Glossy Ibis, Black-crowned Night Heron, Red-winged Blackbird and Boat-tailed Grackle.
