Geocache Description:


It is recommended that you only look for these during daylight hours only.  That way it is easier for the Search and Rescue folks to find you.  We had good cell service in this area.

Florida may be associated with plastic lawn flamingos, but birders hope to spot the greater flamingo (Phoenicopterus ruber) when they visit the Sunshine State. Once abundant in the Everglades and along the southern coasts, these birds (also known as American flamingos) are much rarer but gradually becoming more frequent visitors. Checking rare sightings can help birders add this rarity to their Florida list.  The male and female American Flamingo (Phoenicopterus ruber) produce bright red milk to feed their chicks. The male and female look alike. Its plumage and long legs are unmistakable in the park. They are rare in the park.

Size: About the size of a Crane.

Habitat: It favors shallow lagoons and estuaries.

There will be times you will find some caches several feet away from the posted GZ location because of many reasons beyond our control.  Clouds, Trees, Solar Flares, power lines, the movement of Magnetic North, the Navigation Satellites being calibrated, and your GPSr not recently calibrated, not forgetting someone did not place it back where they found it and the list goes on.

Remember to use caution, this is Florida and there is a long list of things for you to be aware of and you may have encountered or heard stories about most of them in the past.  Groundspeak, Inc. is not responsible or libel for any of your incidents or injuries while headed to a Geocache, while searching for a Geocache, or headed back after Geocaching in any way.

Some will be easy to find and some not so easy to find.  Here, you are looking for a pill bottle.
