STA 5 - Clewiston

STA5 is a water treatment center in the middle of Florida between Fort Myers and Boynton beach. Access is only allowed on 2 saturdays a month. It is a great place to see lots of birds but not a great place for pictures, as they are often far away and the light was bad this time. Our previous visit in 2010 is at https://pbase.com/joanel/sta5 when we had slightly better luck.
