Red-shouldered Hawk (Buteo lineatus) Highlands Hammock SPk by Dan
Does the hawk fly by your wisdom, And spread its wings toward the south? (Job 39:26 NKJV)
Highlands Hammock State Park
Florida Scrub Jay (Aphelocoma coerulescens) Highlands Hammock SPk 10-14-13
Highlands Hammock is one of Florida’s oldest state parks in Florida. We enjoy visiting their Florida Scrub Jays and other birds. Their “scrub” area is being preserved especially for the Scrub Jays which are endemic to Florida. Scrub habitat has dwindled considerably in the past several decades as Florida has continued to develop.
The park also has a Cypress Swamp walk, along with other trails throughout to investigate.
