Birds of BallenIsles
Greetings!

The cold weather of this winter has brought a delayed Spring to Palm Beach Gardens.  But now everything is blooming gloriously and the colors are spectacular. 

 

Once again wth new photos, we look at bird island on the BallenIsles East course.  It has been a maternity hospital and the new hatchlings are boistrous and cheeky.  This tiny piece of real estate is a precious nesting area to a huge variety of birds.  Please see the marvelous video with photos by Rodney Cole and learn more about the treasury of nature at our doorstep. 

 

Best regards,
Laura & Tana

Birds of BallenIsles 
 
 
The island between the 2nd and 12th holes on the East Golf Course is a unique gift to the BallenIsles community.  It has been a nesting site long before any homes appeared at BallenIsles and continues to be a source of wonder.  Nest building and breeding usually starts in January and February with young being reared from March through May.  The earlier breeding occurs the better chance the young birds have to survive.

Bird Island is an important breeding place for the endangered and federally protected wood stork as well as great egrets, great blue herons, snowy egrets, cattle egrets, green herons, tri-colored herons, blue herons, Egyptian geese, cormorants, anhingas and many kinds of ducks.
