Tuesday Morning Bird Walk - Turtle Mound at Canaveral National Seashore
Details
SEVAS Tuesday Morning Bird Walk
DEC 23, 8am
Turtle Mound Trail
Turtle Mound has been a navigational aid for generations. It is an oyster shell midden rising 35 feet above sea level, and an archeological site dating back to 800AD. The boardwalk here is generally considered an easy route, with stunning views of Mosquito Lagoon and the Atlantic. Bug spray might be helpful.
**An entrance fee or Golden Eagle pass or similar is required to enter the National Seashore so carpool with friends if you can.
