Quick Point Nature Preserve *
Immediately south
of the Bradenton
Area on the
southeast end of
Longboat Key, the
site provides a good
birding spot for
beginners. The site's
interesting mix of
mangrove estuary, tidal swamps and uplands offers habitat
for herons and egrets, ibises and spoonbills, but also
"flyovers" such as ospreys, gulls and terns from the nearby
Gulf beaches. The site offers an easy walk along a short
trail system overlooking Sarasota Bay.
Open daily, dawn to dusk.
