Bird Photography-Viera Wetlands

Adventure Photography and Photowalks spent the morning at Viera Wetlands in Viera, FL. There are few places that have a higher number of species readily accessible to the camera than Viera Wetlands. This is a great place for both the beginner and expert nature photographer to get excellent images of many species of birds, mammals, and reptiles. An early start is needed in order to catch the best light. The site has multiple wetland impoundments and associated upland areas.  We walked the area as doing so gave us the best opportunities to capture nice images. The terrain is flat and firm levee roads, so the walking is very easy.
