Jeff and Rochelle hosted our beginning birding class at Viera Wetland on Sunday, Oct 21 2018. We started with some treats that Rochelle brought and then David and Dee gave our attendees an informative talk on birding basis. David led us on a driving tour around the wetlands for approx 1.5 hours. There were a total of 17 birders including the hosts. The list below is courtesy of David Simpson (posted on eBird)
