Dagny Johnson Key Largo Hammock Botanical State Park
This park’s 2,500 acres encompass the largest remaining tracts of rockland hammock in the continental U.S. A short paved walking/biking trail takes you into the main public part of the habitat, where you can find breeding populations of Black-whiskered Vireos, Mangrove Cuckoos and White-crowned Pigeons; 20+ species of wood-warblers can be found during spring and fall migration. Butterfly viewing can be rewarding, look for Ruddy Daggerwings and Zebra Longwings gliding through the hammocks. An additional 4 miles of paved trails, as well as off-trail possibilities, are also available. Rarities such as Brown-crested Flycatcher, La Sagra’s Flycatcher, Thick-billed Vireo and Zenaida Dove have been found here.
