Canal and powerline levees are good places to view wildlife. Alligators
are ubiquitous. You may also encounter white-tailed deer, raccoons,
common opossums, armadillos, river otter, bobcats, rabbits, and rats.
Swallow-tailed kites, red-shouldered hawks, and many migratory birds
are seen during the winter months. Wood storks, ibises, big blue heron,
snowy egrets, and cattle egrets are common. The endangered Florida panther
may be an occasional visitor to the area.
