Florida Manatees
TECO Power Station Outflow, Tampa Bay
Richard Rathe, December 2024 (Birds)
A recent cold snap in the Tampa Bay area forced hundreds of manatees inland in search of warmer water. One ready source is the outflow from the TECO powerplant. To their credit, the company provides a dedicated viewing dock and surrounding wildlife preserve for birds and other critters.
