Balu Forest field trip
March 2019 |
|
Another lovely spring morning for a Santa Fe Audubon wildflower fieldtrip. Nine of us joined Michael Drummond and two other Alachua County EPD staff members in the large Balu Forest tract that the county has been conserving for more than 20 years, yielding some sections that are beginning to resemble closely the natural flatwoods that originally characterized the area. The primary focus was flora, including three different carnivorous species: sundew, bladder plant and pitcher plant. However, birds were active in the area as well and were duly noted in an upload to e-bird.
