Im in Southwest Florida and want to do some birding. Where are some of the better places to go?
Collier County is a superb birding area; it has barrier islands, sandy beaches, tidal pools and lagoons, mangrove forests, fresh water lakes, swamps with cypress forests, and pine and oak scrub forests. There are county and regional parks, state parks, national wildlife refuges, national preserves, a national park, and National Audubon Society’s Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary.
