What a beautiful natural spot offered to the students and faculty of the University of South Florida, as well as the citizenry and visitors to Tampa alike! At this very site, I had my life sighting of Carolina Satyr, Red-bellied Sliders, Black Vulture, Carolina Wren, Carolina Chickadee, Limpkin, Little Blue Heron, and the lone fly-by Roseate Spoonbill we would see in the entire state of Florida! We also had close encounters with several of the raucous local Red-shouldered Hawks which were life sightings for my travel companion. All of my previously mentioned life sightings applied to her, as well as her life Palm & Northern Parula Warbler.
