With its coastlines, forests, rivers, and bays, the Forgotten Coast is home, or at least a temporary home, to an incredible variety of birds, including bald eagles, osprey, falcons, warblers, herons, egrets, owls, cardinals, and so many more.

Winter is an excellent time for spotting many species of water birds, including ducks and loons and other water birds enjoy the relatively warm waters of the Gulf Coast.

Some of the best spots for birding on the Forgotten Coast include St. George Island State Park, Bald Point State Park, Old Carrabelle Beach, and the entire town of Apalachicola.

The loss of property for the human population was staggering, as homes from Panama City to Panacea were damaged or destroyed. It wasn’t only the people who suffered, as animals lost an astounding amount of habitat with the destruction of trees and forests in the path of the storm.

However, as it always does, animal life along the Forgotten Coast has found a way to endure, despite the catastrophic damage to our trees and forests. This nest build upon a broken tree near Tyndall Air Force Base is just one example of animal populations adapting to their changed environment.

Have you noticed any unusual nesting spots along the Forgotten Coast? If so, let us know!
