Southwest Florida
Birding</span><br />
<br />
The
Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary and
its 2-mile boardwalk are most famous for their <strong>nesting wood storks</strong>, but there
is much more to see here.</font></p>
<p class="text1">Another <strong>200 bird species</strong>, including the largest of Florida's common woodpeckers, the pileated, with its red crest and black and
white feather pattern. </font></p>
<p class="text1">Cardinals,
too, are common, and look for white ibis, <strong>green herons</strong>, anhingas, great
blue herons and limpkins. Other winter visitors include catbirds, phoebes
and <strong>ruby-crowned ringlets</strong>. <br />
<br />
Corkscrew Swamp also is home to
</font>the <strong>largest</strong> remaining sub-tropical <strong>old-growth bald-cypress forest</strong> in the United States. <br />
<br />
Bald cypress here tower 130-feet high and are as much as 700 years old. These are the <strong>oldest trees</strong> in all of <strong>eastern North America</strong>.<br />
<br />
To
locate Corkscrew Swamp, take Exit 17 from I-75 and go east on State
Road 846 for about 16 miles. A sign leading to the swamp will be on
the left. The facility opens at 7 a.m. December through April, and at
8 a.m. May through November. The boardwalk closes at 5 p.m. year-round. </font></p>
