Wednesday, September 24, 2008Eight of Florida's state parks were partially developed by the Civilian Conservation Corps: Torreya, Florida Caverns, Ft. Clinch, Gold Head Branch, O'Leno, Hillsborough River, Highlands Hammock, and Myakka River. John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, initially acquired in December of 1959, was the first underwater park in the US. Indian Key Historic State Park (17 acres) was once the county seat of Dade County. The acquisition of Blue Springs State Park in 1972 was the first major step by the Department, in the Manatee Protection Program and served as the focal point for manatee awareness. Edward Ball Wakulla Springs State Park has been described as the largest and deepest single spring in the world (600,000 gallons per minute; 185 feet deep). Fakahatchee Strand Preserve State Park has the largest variety of wild orchids in the US. Also the home of many designated species; Florida Panther, Everglades Mink, Mangrove Fox Squirrel and the Royal Palm. Ft. Zachary Taylor Historic State Park holds the largest collection of Civil War armaments in the US. Big Lagoon State Park near Pensacola is closer to Chicago, Illinois, by car, than to Ft. Zachary Taylor Historic State Park in Key West. Parks are havens for big trees and parks currently contain 20 US Champions including: Flowering Dogwood, Maclay Gardens, Cabbage Palm, Highlands Hammock, Florida Maple, San Felasco Hammock; and Longleaf Loblolly, Lignumvitae Key. Lake Kissimmee State Park offers first person interpretation of an authentic 1876 "cow camp", complete with a scrub cow her, cow pony and cow hunter. Other parks where rangers perform the difficult role of first person interpreter are: Ft. Clinch with its Union soldiers, and Hillsborough River at Fort Foster, an authentically recreated 1836 wood picket fort and bridge, with its Second Seminole War soldiers. The area around San Marcos de Apalache Historic State Park was first occupied by Panfilo de Navaez in 1528 where he built and launched the first ships made by non-native inhabitants in the New World. The Florida Park Service performs a variety of resource management practices including exotic removal, erosion control, water manipulation, reforestation, and prescribed burning. The prescribed burning program involves more than 200,000 acres of fire type plant communities at 73 parks. O'Leno State Park contains the site of the first telegraph office and dry kiln in Florida. It also contains portions of the Bellamy Road, which ran from St. Augustine to Pensacola, Florida's first road built by the federal government. Florida's state park system is made up of a great variety of individual "parks", each with unique management requirements. The 158 areas are classified into 10 major types: state park, state recreation area, state preserve, state museum, state garden, state special feature site (historical, botanical, geologic, wildlife and archaeological), state reserve, state trail, state folk culture center and state fishing pier. The largest unit of the state park system is Fakahatchee Strand Preserve State Park at 70,836 acres. The highest waterfall in the state is 70 feet at Falling Waters State Park, the second highest is 20 feet at Torreya State Park. Carlos Maxwell first recommended Ichetucknee Springs for inclusion in the state park system in 1944. It was acquired in 1970, two years before Mr. Maxwell retired. posted by author

Monday, September 22, 2008Approximately, 200 species of birds use the Buffalo National River for at least some part of the year. Nearly half of those species live here year round, and can be seen frequently during canoe trips down the river. Great Blue Herons, Belted Kingfishers, and Wood Ducks are a common sight on almost any section of the river, and Bald Eagles are observed more frequently during the winter as they rest in trees on the ridgetops and riverbanks. Nearly 100 of the recorded species migrate to the forest and fields that surround the river to build nests, lay eggs, and raise their young during the summer. Other migrating birds will stop by to feed and rest during their spring and fall migrations between breeding grounds of northern U.S. and Canada and wintering grounds in Central and South America. The majority of the migrating song birds are attracted by the unbroken forests of the Ozarks, and these birds can be very vocal during the early morning hours. Many of the birds found within the canopy of the forest are more likely to be heard than seen. The challenge of identifying these cryptic birds by only their song or call can be a rewarding experience and one easily found within the dense woods of Buffalo National River. posted by author

Thursday, September 18, 2008The diversity of wildlife habitats including beaches, dunes, freshwater marshes, maritime forests, and salt marshes has attracted over 300 species of birds. Gulf Islands National Seashore is part of the Great Florida Birding Trail. From pine warblers to pelicans, you'll find them here. Gulf Islands is a stopover for migrating birds, a place where they can rest and feed before continuing on their migration. The freshwater marsh areas provide shelter for clapper rails and spotted sandpipers. A diversity of gulls, terns and various shorebirds can be found year-round. So grab your binoculars and keep your eyes peeled. You never know what you may find! posted by author

Monday, September 15, 2008Over 50 species of mammals live in Shenandoah National Park. Virtually all park visitors see some mammals, such as white-tailed deer and gray squirrels. Others, like the big brown bat, striped and spotted skunks are more elusive, remaining largely out of sight until darkness falls. Black bears and bobcats, though active during the day, seem to remain hidden deep in the forest. The smallest mammals (moles, voles, and shrews) found in the park are rarely seen because they spend much of their lives underground or hidden under leaves and low growing plants. Careful observation should bring rewards in finding most of the wild inhabitants of the park. Just as the number and distribution of mammals varies somewhat from year to year, the number of species present in the park changes over time. Coyotes, an adaptable predator not native to Virginia, are continuing to expand their range eastward and have been documented in the park. In addition, although not substantiated by park staff observations, reports of cougar sightings are received regularly from the public. Cougars, believed to have been eliminated from the park decades ago, may be recovering naturally or may have expanded into the park from posted by author

Wednesday, September 10, 2008Located on the Appalachian Plateau, New River Gorge National River offers a wide variety of habitats in its 53 miles of river and steep V-shaped gorge. Riparian areas, mixed hardwood forests, old fields, and high cliffs provide for an array of birds nesting or living year-round within the borders of the National River. KEY The following is the key used to indicate abundance and occurrence: C - COMMON indicates that the species can usually be seen during the season indicated. U - UNCOMMON indicates present but not certain to be seen. R - RARE indicates a very low probability on encountering the species, although not out of normal range. A - ACCIDENTAL indicates that the species is out of its normal range. P - PERMANENT RESIDENT indicates that the species remains in the park year-round. S - SUMMER indicates that the species can be found in the park during the summer months. W - WINTER indicates that the species can be found in the park during the winter months. T - TRANSIENT indicates migratory birds, usually seen spring and fall.
