Birders: Do to the recent rains and more vehicle traffic the Brevard County Utility Services and Natural Resources Management Office has asked the birders please beware of a few things while visiting the wetlands. 1. In an effort to control maintenance expenses, vehicles may be prohibited from some or all areas of the wetlands after a rain event. Foot traffic is still allowed. 2. With recent budgetary reductions, staff numbers are at a minimum. Therefore, staff cannot assist people in locating birds and staff does not keep track of birds within the wetlands. 3. When parking to get out to view areas, please pull to one side of the road to allow traffic to pass. We do have visitors who prefer to just drive through. 4. The months of December through February are peak viewing season and weekends, especially holiday weekends, are becoming crowded. Please consider visiting the wetlands during off days such as Mondays. ***************************************************************************************** Non-subscribers and subscribers: to report a rare bird, send pertinent details of observation to FLARBA AT LISTSERV.ADMIN.USF.EDU.

Birders: Do to the recent rains and more vehicle traffic the Brevard County Utility Services and Natural Resources Management Office has asked the birders please beware of a few things while visiting the wetlands. 1. In an effort to control maintenance expenses, vehicles may be prohibited from some or all areas of the wetlands after a rain event. Foot traffic is still allowed. 2. With recent budgetary reductions, staff numbers are at a minimum. Therefore, staff cannot assist people in locating birds and staff does not keep track of birds within the wetlands. 3. When parking to get out to view areas, please pull to one side of the road to allow traffic to pass. We do have visitors who prefer to just drive through. 4. The months of December through February are peak viewing season and weekends, especially holiday weekends, are becoming crowded. Please consider visiting the wetlands during off days such as Mondays. ***************************************************************************************** Non-subscribers and subscribers: to report a rare bird, send pertinent details of observation to FLARBA AT LISTSERV.ADMIN.USF.EDU.
