Every year millions of birds migrate south for the winter and many of those birds stop here in North Central Florida. Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park is giving bird watchers a lot to look at. This year won't be the same as last year which saw more sandhill cranes than in the past twenty years. No one really knows why there will be fewer birds this year. Biologist Jim Weimer said the next several weeks will provide many opportunities to see different types of wildlife, "We have a lot of different species now of course most people are coming for the cranes but we also got some sandhill cranes and also have some four to eight whooping cranes and hundreds of white pelicans which are big white showy birds." The migrating birds usually start to leave in the middle of February but once they are gone there will still be a lot of wildlife to see at the park.
