Inside Florida

Roar of the Crowd

Watching Wildlife
Fort Clinch State Park anchors the northern tip of Amelia Island and offers refuge to wood storks, great egrets, great blue herons, otters, alligators, turtles, and the endangered piper plover and threatened least tern; Winter is a great time to set up a suet feeder with your children; Winter's also the right time to spot the endangered Northern Right Whale - now through March, pregnant females and some males and juveniles head south from New England and southern Canadian coasts to shallow waters between Savannah, GA, and Port Canaveral. Natural Occurrences this month include overwintering geese and ducks in wetlands, tree swallows roosting at sunset over large marsh systems, and manatees congregating round springs, which offer the warmest waters.
