Join Us for a FREE Bird Walk. A bird walk is a great opportunity to enjoy nature and potentially see some great birds!
Naval Live Oaks
This hub for the national seashore spans the spit of land separating Santa Rosa Sound from Pensacola Bay. Scan the sound for wintering water birds such as Common Goldeneye and Horned Grebe. All three species of scoter have been observed here. During spring and fall migration, check the live oaks; 22 species of wood-warbler have been recorded including Golden-winged and Cerulean. Look carefully, you may find a rare visitor; During the winter months Brown Creepers and Red-breasted Nuthatches have shown up. Check the shoreline for shorebirds; Piping Plover and Bonaparte’s Gulls may occur in winter and Black Skimmers and Snowy Plovers between spring and summer.
Marcus Bayou Boardwalk
The Boardwalk is built above the Bayou Marcus Wetlands, offering visitors an opportunity to walk through an authentic Northwest Florida wetland ecosystem, which provides spectacular views, and an up-close opportunity to see wildlife that’s indigenous to the area. The abundance of fresh, clean water, which is reclaimed water from the BMWRF averaging approximately, 6.2 million gallons per day, keeps the large and diverse bird population, as well as, White Tailed Deer, Osceola Turkeys, Gray Foxes, Raccoons, Rabbits, Beavers, Bobcats, Turtles, Otters, Snakes, and even Alligators on and around the site.
