Bradenton Area Birding Guide - 12

Robinson Preserve
One of the area's
most accessible
birding sites,
Robinson offers 637
acres of preserved
coastal wetlands
providing the
opportunity to
observe some 100
species of birds, including Roseate Spoonbills, Bald Eagles
and on rare occasions, Peregrine Falcons and Marsh
Sparrows. Hiking and biking trails make it easy to enjoy
the area, while a 40-foot observation tower provides
breathtaking views of the preserve, Tampa Bay and beyond.
Kayak trails allow vantage points not available from land.
Open daily, sunrise to sunset.

Rye Preserve
Rye Preserve is a 145-acre property located just northwest
of the Lake Manatee Dam. The preserve's trail system leads
visitors through four distinctive ecosystems, including sand
pine scrub, xeric oak scrub, oak hammocks and the river
community. The area's Manatee River meandering through
the preserve gives birders opportunities to see inland,
freshwater species such as egrets, herons, Anhingas, Ibis,
Limpkins and more. A canoe/kayak launch makes river
access easy and provides a unique vantage for birding.
Open daily, 8 a.m. to sunset.
