shorebirds in the area and at the world renowned Fort DeSoto County

of St. Petersburg Beach on the Gulf of Mexico, 4 miles from Fort
DeSoto Park, the #1 ranked beach in the US in 2005, 5 minutes from
the Tampa Bay Devil Rays stadium, 5 minutes from the Sunshine
Skyway, and 10-15 minutes from the museums, upscale shopping, pier,
restaurants, parks, and outdoor concerts and activities that
characterize downtown St. Petersburg. The Tampa cruise ship
terminal, aquarium, Tampa Bay Lightning and Tampa Bay Buccaneers
stadiums, and Tampa International airport are all within a 20-30
minute drive. Other nearby activities or sights include the Don
Cesar beach hotel and resort, parasailing, golf, watercraft rental,
kayaking, biking, charter fishing or diving, and boat tours. Nearby

Birders will appreciate the local shorebird populations and the
unit's easy access to Fort Desoto Park, a major stopover of the
North Atlantic Flyway. In addition to year-round resident
shorebirds, the months of April and October offer the birder a
variety of sighting opportunities of non-resident species.
Shorebirds commonly sighted include Long-billed Curlews,
Oystercatchers, plovers, sandpipers, Willets, Marbled Godwits, White-
morph Reddish Egret, normal Reddish Egrets, Osprey, Brown and White
Pelicans, Cormorants, Anhinga, nearly every species of wading birds,
terns, and gulls. Migration brings in raptors, waterfowl, wood-
warblers, kingfishers, vireos, tanagers, and others. If you are
lucky you may encounter a rarity such as a Grove-billed Ani, Yellow-
billed Cuckoo, or Scissor-tailed Flycatcher. Additionally, there are
a number of excellent local and day-trip birding locations as
outlined in the Central Florida Birding Trail guidebook we provide
for all birders.
