Jens Tripson, pictured with binoculars, led an early morning field trip under overcast skies to the West County Wastewater Facility in Indian River County on Saturday, October 15, 2005. |
 |
The artificial wetlands are accessed partly by an elevated boardwalk and by walking the dikes surrounding the impoundments. |
 |
At least three alligators were spotted swimming around the facility. |
 |
The group is pictured walking along atop one of the dikes. The four at front starting at left are Susan Boyd, Jens Tripson, Alice Rowe, and Peter Sutherland. |
 |
Several groups of Mottled Ducks were observed. |
 |
The calm water produces a mirror-like surface to reflect this Ibis' image. |
 |
The group strikes a typical pose at the sight of a bird. |
