Descrição
Also called the Ritch Grissom Memorial Wetlands, the Viera Wetlands is one of the older wetlands parks in Florida. It's a series of water reclamation ponds surrounded by high banks and trails allowing walking and bicycling. Because there is always water in the ponds, there are always birds. Crested Caracara nest at this site. Other birds you can observe include Sandhill Crane, Osprey, Bald Eagle, Wood Stork, Least Bittern, King Rail, Glossy Ibis, Roseate Spoonbill, Black-necked Stilt and Purple Gallinule. Scarce migrants such as American Golden Plover, Upland Sandpiper and Buff-breasted Sandpiper have been recorded.
