Description: There are a variety of habitats, including extensive salt marshes, hardwood swamps, pine flatwoods, and pine/oak uplands bordering Apalachee Bay. Diked impoundments attract many species of wintering waterfowl. There are numerous trails for hiking, bicycling, and birdwatching. Watchable wildlife: Bald eagles, ospreys, and belted kingfishers are often seen on exposed snags. On the beach and pilings near the lighthouse, look for a variety of shorebirds, gulls, and terns. American alligators are common, and on walks in the early morning and near sunset, you might see bobcat, river otter, and white-tailed deer. Butterflies migrate through the refuge in September and October. Ownership: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Contact: |
