BIRD'S EYE VIEW

The Osprey nest is on a high pole on the pond on the far side of the Visitors Center's bridge.
On Biolab Road in the National Seashore, you may see as many as 20 alligators.

                      At the National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center across the bridge from Titusville,Florida, you get a close up view of an osprey nest.  Through the spotting scope in the air conditioned comfort of the Visitor Center, you can clearly see the large mother osprey and two fledgelings.  There's also an exhibit of local nature scene art and a gift shop/nature book store.  Titusville,Florida has plenty of nature areas including The St. John's River Preserve,The Enchanted Forest, Black Point 7 mile Wildlife Drive. and the 24 mile long Canaveral National Seashore.  Each January Titusville has the largest Bird Festival in North America with field trips,lectures and workshops.  Of course there's green alligators and roseated spoonbills too.
