Birding
Flights of fancy to delight you!
St. Petersburg/Clearwater is truly a bird-lovers paradise. You can simply sit on the beach to spot seabirds like brown pelicans, herons and other wading birds, and hunters including osprey and great horned owls. Or visit one of our many parks or preserves to see the most unique of our feathered friends, such as the Reddish Egret – the rarest heron on North America.
