Opis
St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge encompasses more than 83,000 acres (336 km2) spread between Wakulla, Jefferson, and Taylor Counties. It is regarded as one of the best birding sites in Florida. The refuge includes several Gulf of Mexico coastal habitats, such as saltwater marshes, islands, tidal creeks, and the estuaries of several north Florida rivers. It is home to a diverse range of birds and the St. Marks Lighthouse.
In April and May visit the Tower Pool 2-3 hours before high tide for spectacular views of shorebirds. Rarities are regular in early May. At the road’s terminus at the lighthouse, look for wintering waterbirds. Red-throated Loons are recorded annually. Lighthouse pond is good for wintering ducks including Canvasback. Headquarters Pond is good for Purple Gallinule. The Mounds Trail around Tower Pond is very good for migrant songbirds in spring.
