My only experience with Corkscrew Swamp was getting yelled at in the parking lot within two minutes of arriving since the swamp was “closed.” Though the sun was still well above the horizon I argued the birds didn’t recognize human time constrains (like political boundaries). I lost, but the Barred Owls, I felt, were arguing for me.

One day I’ll go back – I assume those interns are now long gone.

Though you “only” picked up one lifer there (on this trip), at least you weren’t slapped down by some pimply-faced kid on a power trip.

I had a much better time at Ding Darling – much nicer people, amazing birds!
