When the air is clear you can see the missile gantries and the Cape Canaveral Lighthouse. Offshore you may see freighters, fishing boats, submarines, or missile tracking ships. On the way back out, go west on George King Blvd, turning left on Mullet Rd and wind your way west, going under the SR401 bridge. Eventually you will end up at the Port Canaveral locks. There's usually a lot of brown pelicans, wading birds, shorebirds, gulls and terns around the Port Canaveral Locks.
Turkey Creek is probably best known for migratory warblers.
Turkey Creek has many different habitats including sand pine scrub, mesic hammock, hydric hammock, palmetto scrub and some open grassy areas. Part of the area is viewed only from a boardwalk, but some of the most productive birding is along the jogging trails - check out both. As you pass the deeper area of the creek, look for large swirls of water which indicate the presence of manatees. These gentle creatures can be seen munching water plants along the creek banks. This is also the best area for waterthrushes.
