Blue Cypress Lake
Overview
Blue Cypress Lake is famous for wildlife, especially birds. Pontoon boats tours can be had from the Middleton Fish Camp. See below. Photographing in this area is much more productive from a boat.
Notes
From Caroline:
Blue Cypress should be full of nesting ospreys and limkins. (February) Each pontoon boat holds six photographers. Blue Cypress is becoming one of my favorite places in Fla.
