Birdwatching Basics
Florida is a birdwatcher's paradise. The mild climate, location and diverse habitat attracts more than 470 species. Some species, like limpkins, occur here year-round, while others come to Florida to raise their young in spring and summer. Other migratory species only pause to rest and feed before continuing on their journey.
