This area is a prime bird watching area, hence the name of the cache. Even if you are not particularly a birding enthusiast, you're bound to enjoy the view. On any given day, you may encounter Little Blue Herons, Great, Snowy, and Cattle Egrets, White Ibis, Roseate Spoonbills, Night-Herons, Barred and Great Horned Owls, Pileated, Hairy, Downy and Red-bellied Woodpeckers, and Parula, Prothonotary and Yellow-throated Warblers and many other birds, including the bald eagle. Gators, nutria, and other wildlife also inhabit the area. We recommend bringing a pair of binoculars for superior viewing pleasure.

In light of recent Big Gator Photos, we ask that everyone keep an eye on their kids and pets while hunting this cache. We knew there were LOTS of gators, but not quite that big! This may also be a good time to leave the nutria skin hats at home! Now let's see who can log the biggest cache snake!
