You are on the Birding Escambia County Page . The entrance road to the Center's facilities is clearly marked with a large wooden sign located about .25 miles north of the Covington - Escambia County line on U.S. 29.
Birders are welcome, but are asked to call ahead or stop in before beginning.
A local checklist for birders is available at the Office. Using the entrance sign as a starting point, there are a number of possible routes for interested birders. This is a good spot to look and listen for kinglets and Blue-Gray Gnatcatchers in the winter and parula and Prothonotary Warblers in the spring. Herons and egrets are unusual visitors and the surrounding pinelands contain Pine Warblers, Eastern Bluebirds, Prairie Warblers and Indigo Buntings, among others. From this high vantage point, several different habitats beckon.
