Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive

Summer is almost over and the migratory birds will be making their way back in another month or so. Today we made a quick run through Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive. Still mostly only the summer birds but fun none the less…

Like I said, it was a quick run through. We wanted to make it out before it got too hot and the thunderstorms started. Better weather and more birds will be coming soon!
