At the southern tip of the peninsula, South Florida blends sawgrass prairies, mangrove swamps, coral islands, and warm coastal waters into one of North America’s most distinctive birding landscapes. The Everglades anchor vast wetlands that support raptors, waders, and wintering waterfowl, while hardwood hammocks and pinelands add upland diversity. Along Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic coast, restored wetlands, beaches, and mangroves create vital stopovers during migration. Extending beyond the mainland, the Florida Keys add a Caribbean dimension, where resident species mingle with migrants funneling across the islands. Offshore, the Dry Tortugas offer one of the nation’s most extraordinary experiences, with remote seabird colonies set against turquoise seas and accessible only by boat or seaplane. Together, these habitats make South Florida and the Keys a destination of unmatched variety and tropical allure.
