Geocache Description:


This micro cache is located on the grounds of one of Pinellas County's treasures, the Suncoast Seabird Sancutary.

The non-profit Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary, Inc. is one of the largest wild bird rehabilitation centers in the United States. For over 30 years, the Sanctuary has been dedicated to the rescue, repair, rehabilitation, and release of indigenous wild birds. Founded in 1971 by zoologist Ralph T. Heath, the Sanctuary is world- renowned for its innovative rehabilitation techniques, and it was the first facility to breed Eastern brown pelicans in captivity.

The Sanctuary is staffed by experienced professionals and dedicated volunteers. Similar to a human hospital, it is equipped with emergency facilities, a surgical center, recovery areas, and an outdoor recuperation area. Display areas feature permanently injured birds that have been given a home at the Sanctuary. Any offspring they produce are released into their natural environment. At any given time, the visitor can view in excess of 600 wild birds.

So come and visit us! The Sanctuary is a not-for-profit corporation which depends solely on the financial support of caring individuals. We are open from dawn till dusk 365 days a year, and admittance and parking is always FREE.

I rated this one a 2 star difficulty because of the trouble I had getting my GPSr to stay connected. You may have to do what we do -- get as close as you can and then go "6 feet more" -- hey, it works for us!
