Some of my Favorite Places:
Listed next to a few of the counties is a description of one of my favorite places to bird there. I hope you find them helpful.
One of my favorite places in Alachua County is the Moonshine Trail at the Millhopper Road entrance to San Felasco Hammock. Hooded Warblers breed here, flycatchers, thrushes, and warblers pass through the park in the fall, and I saw my first Brown Creeper for Florida at the bottom of the trail.
For county listers, Lake Sampson is usually very productive in winter. There are two sites for viewing the lake. One is from the back of a local bar called "The Slab" on SW 75th Ave. The owner is usually very nice about allowing birders to set up scopes and study the lake. Please be appreciative and respect his property. The other site is on the northern edge of the lake. The turn off of SW 163rd is marked by metal guard rails. I've had Ring-necked Duck, Lesser Scaup, Bufflehead, Redhead, Northern Shoveler and Horned Grebe here.
Clay County is a challenge for me, but my favorite spots are around Keystone Heights. Lake Geneva and Kingsley Lake provide a great variety of water fowl. The small park across the street from Kingsley can be really good during fall migration.
You can't pass through Columbia County without a stop at Alligator Lake. One year we had a Ruff and a Masked Duck visit the lake. A Vermilion Flycatcher often spends the winter there. It's always a great walk.
My idea of a great day? Morning at Huguenot Memorial Park and Ward's Bank (where the Greater Sand Plover was found) followed by lunch at The Sandollar.
Waters Lake has no water ... but it does have birds. A quick stop there recently scored 24 species including 6 woodpecker species. During the rainy season the "lake" collects enough water to attract waders and occasionally some shorebirds.
The stretch of SR 47 between CR 340 and CR 138 has a series of ponds, some of which are not marked on DeLorme. When they have water, they're the county's best bet for waders, rails and ducks. All can be scoped from the road side.
Wannee is a little-known boat ramp park that has a hiking trail that leads north along the Suwannee. It seems like it will be good in fall migration.
