Corkscrew Swamp Audubon Sanctuary

Our last place to visit on our trip was Corkscrew Swamp. They have a 2.25 mile boardwalk that winds through the swamp. It was sprinkling a little bit, but the magic of the place was not lost. And, Chris fulfilled her mission of finding a limpkin here - a bird that is hard to find. But, we saw two hanging out in a tree and heard their loud, eerie call.





A lot of catbirds were out, too, chattering. We heard a barred owl, and a volunteer found him, but he flew away before we could see him. They also have one of the largest colonies of nesting woodstorks, which we saw from a distance.
