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.

 The reddish egret (Egretta rufescens) is a coastal wader that prefers saltwater or brackish habitats, and is frequently seen on Florida’s beaches. A year-round resident in the southern part of the state, this egret breeds along all of Florida’s coastlines, and birders can often see its unique hunting behavior, where it shades water with its wings so it can more easily see its prey.  The Reddish Egret (Egretta rufescens) jumps, runs, and spins as it chases fish in shallow water. It comes in a reddish and a white color morphs (See below). The reddish color morph is similar to a Little Blue Heron.

Size: Smaller than a duck.

Habitat: It favors the shallow edges of lagoons and estuaries.

The white color morph of a Reddish Egret can be told from other white egrets by its bicolored bill. It jumps, runs, and spins as it chases fish in shallow water. The white color morph is similar to a Great Egret.

Size: Smaller than a duck.

Habitat: It favors the shallow edges of 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.
