Protocol: Traveling
3.0 mile(s)
Comments: Began the morning by going north along the Osprey Trail to the boardwalk overlook. Along the way we would stop at the dune crossings and scope the beach. After the boardwalk we went south along the bike path (including going west to the border of Crandon Park and the marina). Afterwards we continued to bird the Tequesta and Bear Cut Trail.
