Tourists visiting Pennekamp and Key Largo Hammock, and some of our commuting park staff, have been raving all week about the large flocks of Roseate Spoonbills and White Pelicans they have been seeing in the ditch paralleling the 18-mile stretch between Florida City and Key Largo. When I ask for specifics, several have mentioned they saw the birds near the northernmost of the two passing zones (I think that would be approximately mile marker 126?).
