The region has justifiably been referred to as the “Duck Factory of North America.” Thus, for birders, WPAs are vitally important for populations of many waterfowl as well as shorebirds, grassland species, and other migratory species. It produces approximately half of the continent’s waterfowl.

I am still tired from the long drive, but it was great to play with the very best toys for birders, to be able to share experiences and to ask the factory staff all sorts of silly questions.

The Common Pochard is listed as Vulnerable – not because it is particularly rare, but because of the rapid decline in its numbers (a decline of 50% within 10 years means a species is listed as Vulnerable – and a 50% loss in 10 years sounds quite dramatic and frightening indeed). And it does not even live in reeds.

And the magic factories are two neighbors, Green Cay Wetlands and Wakodahatchee Wetlands. Nearly every species of heron and egret in North America forage only feet away, some of them in their dazzling breeding displays. We exit the car and enter magic factory number two.
