This is a short wildlife documentary video of STA-5 (Stormwater Treatment Area number 5) by Josh Manring shot December 17, 2011. Footage was shot with with a Canon 7D body and 15-85mm lens or 500mm lens w/1.4 TC. Sound was recorded with a Rode Microphone. Shot on location at STA-5, Hendry, County Florida.  The lighting was less than perfect to say the least but the footage speaks for itself.  This is one of the best birding spots in all the state of Florida for sheer number of birds.  Upwards of 40,000 birds have been counted at STA-5 in one day and there are approximately 75 species in this small area. The most exciting birds of the day for me were the White-tailed kite and American Avocet.  I hope you enjoy!
