I read about it in Florida Wildlife Viewing Guide. I was not disappointed. Extensive footpaths and boardwalks lead visitors through 30- acres of meticulously restored wetlands. Birds feed peacefully in the tidal lagoons within 30-100 feet from the trail. One can observe pelicans diving for fish and gliding in line formation over the bay from one of several boardwalks that extend over the open water.
Ospreys are also plentiful.
A few species of warblers and other passerine birds inhabit the upland areas. A great abundance of marine life breed in the shallow lagoons, leaving their young to grow within the relative protection of the mangrove trees and man made sand dunes. These waters, buffered from the wind and strong tidal forces, serve as nurseries for many species of fish and crabs. While many of these juveniles reach maturity and replenish the intracoastal waterways with a healthy supply of aquatic life, others are a food source for the birds and fish that feed within this interdependent ecosystem. Marine life found at Coquina Bay Walk includes horseshoe crabs, fiddler crabs, blue crabs, whelks, conchs and ragged sea hares and many species of small fish.
