Green Cay Wetlands with the Badbirdz
Howdee all,
I cant say enough about Green Cay Nature Center..
I love this place! I could spend all day here…Granted its not in the wilds,it is an Oasis in a noisy sprawling developed area in Boynton Beach.
I love the Colors here..the green of the algae and Duck weed…Close up views of birds…
This particular day we met up with Angel and Mariel Abreu of Badbirz-reloaded.
Below is a bit about their website
Noel Wamer made us all “radar junkies”. Just because he’s off the official scene, doesn’t mean we can all up and quit cold-turkey. This blog is an attempt to keep the radar images coming, and to engage birders, scientists, and anyone else who is interested, in the study of migration using radar. Beginning in October 2008, Angel and Mariel Abreu joined the Badbirdz team as contributing authors, and as of Spring 2009 have become the primary authors and administrators of the site. My other site, www.woodcreeper.com, tracks nocturnal migration over New Jersey, and was heavily influenced by Noel’s old website, badbirdz.com. ~David LaPuma
They could use your support..if you would like to donate to keep their website running go to this page.

We had a wonderful time with Angel and Mariel, they are great naturalists and birders, who enjoy taking their time to study all things nature. They don’t rush around to see it all, they immerse themselves into what is happening at the moment.
