Ichetucknee River Kayaking field trip
November 2019 |
|
Braving the cold on a dank November Saturday eight intrepid kayakers from Santa Fe Audubon joined Lars Anderson and two other paddlers on a guided trip down the Ichetucknee. To our great delight, the warm water and the gorgeous river delivered a wonderful experience. We enjoyed Lars’ fascinating expertise, admired turtles, fish, snails, flowering native plants and more than 30 species of birds and -most amazing - didn’t even feel chilled. An added bonus was having this glory almost to ourselves. Large wading birds let us glide very close, anhingas and ospreys perched in trees above and belted kingfishers flew back and forth beside us. We were all glad we had not let the dark day deter us.
