Geocache Description:


This cache is located along Martin Count’s Hawk’s Hammock Nature and Equestrian Trail System, and can be accessed via the newly created Public Access & Parking area at the end of Green Farms Road.

Since its namesake is that of Hawks, I thought I’d dedicate a series of caches to some of the most common hawks of North & South America.

The Short-tailed Hawk is in the same genus as the Buteo. Seen mostly in Mexico, Central and South America, this hawk is common in Florida with small numbers seen in Texas and Arizona. There are two morphs, one is a light coloured with a hooded head, the other is seen in dark plumage with greyish wing feathers.

T-ratings are roughly based on length of hike. There’s virtually no bushwhacking, (At least not when placed)
