Kiplinger Nature Preserve
This Martin County Environmental Land offers a nice mosaic of habitats like scrub and wet prairie, punctuated with bayheads. These ecotones between habitat types can be great for wintering songbirds. Be sure to check the pine snags in the eastern scrub area for woodpeckers and hawks, and the mangrove edge along the North Trail for waders. Give the wet prairie a wide berth in late spring, so as not to disturb nesting Sandhill Cranes.
