Tucked away inside the surrounding buildings sits a small lake that wraps around about a mile in circumference. Google this address 900 Carillon Parkway, St. Petersburg, FL to get the exact location.
At the edge of this lake, a boardwalk that covers the edge of the water nestled next to a marshy area that is home to many different species of birds. On most any given day one can see of course, the Moorhens or the local Anhinga. And not to forget the gators that lay basking in the sun.
During this time of year the migratory birds such as Warblers, Gnatcatcher, and Flycatchers. There are many hiding places here and the best way is to move slow and keep your eyes open and look in all directions. Osprey will be flying above, hovering every so often as he positions his body to dive in the water for lunch. Rarely have I ever been disappointed by visiting this location and this time of year is great. If your lucky to see the Sora’s that hide in the tall grass consider it a successful trip.
This Osprey flew overhead while I was waiting for the Sora to make another appearance since I missed him the first time. 
Hope to see you there.
