The same place where it's been for over a week. Directions:
-Prepare yourself mentally to leave the familiar confines of your immediate neighborhood and venture into the wild unknowns of a barrier island called Key Biscayne.
-Drive to the entrance to Key Biscayne and pay the outrageous, and questionably legal, toll, the proceeds of which inquiring minds would like to know how they are being used.
-Drive along Rickenbacker Causeway at exactly 47.5 miles an hour, just enough to be over the speed limit and upset the stupid electronic "Slow Down" signs but not enough to get you a ticket.
-If the opportunity arrises, run into any obnoxious bikers using the car lanes instead of the bike lanes. Don't worry, it's perfectly legal.
-Continue into the village of Key Biscayne, enjoying all the lane closures and other obstacles intended to make this annoying and generally unpleasant thanks to the Department of Orange Cones.
-After you pass the last turn before Bill Baggs State Park, you're free of all the local traffic!
-Enter Bill Baggs State Park and pay the fee, which is only $4.00. Come on, isn't a life bird worth $4$
-Proceed through the parking area until you pass some tents with bycicle stuff. Park at the far end of Lot C.
-Enter the nature trail at its south end and slowly and quietly walk up till you see a pink ribbon on the right side.
-Stop, wait and listen for a bird that if you throw a rock anywhere in the Caribbean you are sure to hit one. Usually, you have to swat them away in the islands, but this one seems to think it's all that special, so it's behaving really sneaky.
-If you see it, have some wine, but only after you do all of the above in reverse.
Hope this helps.
