The highlight of today's Forest Awareness Day at Okaloacoochee Slouth State Forest was a male American Redstart in the trees
along the path leading to the new Sic Island Road Boardwalk. To get to the boardwalk head east from SR 29 to C.R. 832 in southern Hendry County.
Drive on 832 approximately 4 miles from S.R. 29. Turn on to Sic Island Road (south side of 832) and continue 1/4 mile to parking area.
More species were reported, but I'm only including my "short" list.
