Hello from Orlando: Discovering Central Florida's Diverse Wildlife
When visiting Florida, you're immediately surrounded by an incredible array of wildlife. The exotic birds, in particular, are captivating, and you'll often encounter subtropical species while golfing or enjoying a picnic in a public park.
Central Florida turns out to be a paradise for nature enthusiasts, far exceeding expectations. The state's plant and animal life offer surprising diversity, making Florida the third most ecologically varied state, trailing only Hawaii and California.
A Unique Geographical Marvel
Florida's nearly flat landscape gently slopes toward the sea on both the eastern and western coasts. This lowland, shaped by fluctuating sea levels, boasts distinctive geological features like dunes, barrier islands, lagoons, and tidal rivers. Inland, you'll find swamps, marshlands, and lakes teeming with birdlife. South of Orlando lies the Lake Wales Ridge, known for its unique sand hills and rolling flatlands, a remnant of an ancient island where unique species have thrived.
Birdwatcher's Haven
The Florida Birding Trail is a collection of prime bird-watching and bird-education sites. This 2000-mile trail aims to protect bird habitats and encourages bird-watching activities, environmental education, and local tourism.
Florida sits at a unique crossroads between tropical and temperate regions, making it a haven for bird species. It's a critical stop for migratory birds flying thousands of miles from the north. In total, Florida hosts over 470 recognized bird species.
Noteworthy birds to look out for include:
- American Avocet
- Limpkin
- Bald Eagle
- Roseate Spoonbill
- Florida Scrub-Jay
- Swallow-Tailed Kite
The Iconic Alligator and More
Florida's famous American alligator is a remarkable conservation success story. Once nearing extinction due to overhunting, they were removed from the federal endangered species list in 1987. On warm days, you'll often see them basking at the water's edge.
Central Florida is also a draw for anglers, with diverse fish species like largemouth bass and speckled perch. Florida houses a broad spectrum of wildlife, yet many people only recognize a handful of species.
Among Florida's diverse wildlife, you'll find:
- Amphibians like newts and salamanders
- Mammals such as armadillos, manatees, and panthers
- Reptiles including anoles, geckos, and turtles
