Debra and Rochelle meet with 28 Birders at Viera Wetlands. They gave the group a short intro into birding ID and handed out abridged birding guides to new birders. We headed out in 3 groups to drive the wetlands. Each group had several experienced birders to help with the newer members. A fun time was had by all.
