BIRDS OF OLETA RIVER PARK (MIAMI,FL,USA)

In March 2013, April 2014 and March 2015, we visited (Antonio Silveira) several times the beautiful Oleta River State Park, situated in the middle of the Miami area.

It is a state park that preserves large natural area and has a lot of structure for visitors who can do many activities consistent with the purpose of preserving the park.

Including preserving the habitat of endangered species like Manatee (Trichechus manatus latirostris).

There are many species of wild birds in this park. It is a very good place for birdwatching.

We recorded several species of birds that list  follows below.
