Viera's Big Year Update

Eva Rey,

President of Central Viera Community Association

We are now about halfway through our birding contest – Viera’s Big Year. I thought it would be interesting to see what birds are currently in the lead for most sightings. I was a little surprised by the results as I thought for sure I would see the Sandhill Crane high up on the list for sightings, but the data doesn’t lie. The caveat to these results is that the same bird could be seen by multiple contestants. For instance, if two contestants are out and about birdwatching and see the same bird, they can both report it. So, while there may be some duplication, these birds are receiving the most sightings from all contestants participating.

Tons of Floridians have pools in their homes or have access to community pools nearby.

Public vs. Private Pools:

Public pools all have signs with rules displayed somewhere on property, including, but not limited to, no diving, no running around the pool, no young kids allowed unsupervised, etc. Following the designated rules at a public pool is vital for a safe experience.
