Highlights: White-crowned Pigeon, Mangrove Cuckoo, Gray Kingbird, Black-whiskered Vireo, migrant songbirds and, rarely, Caribbean vagrants, may be found on the paved path or unpaved nature trail in the botanical site, or along Loquat Road, just south of the parking area.

Directions: From the intersection of Florida's Turnpike and US 1 in Florida City, drive south 21 miles to CR 905. Turn left and drive north 0.4 miles to the parking area (fee, open 8:00 AM until sunset).

White Crown Pigeon and Gray Kingbird can be found just about anywhere in the Keys easily along US 1.

Good Luck!
