About Us

Want to know where the best places are in Florida to see wildlife and nature at their most spectacular? Florida Wildlife Viewing can help you.

Florida Wildlife Viewing highlights not only where to go but when to go, which is just as important.

You would be incredibly lucky to see one of these in the wild

Everything in nature is governed by the seasons and weather. Every month has its special wildlife and nature viewing opportunities, and sometimes you will be able to watch the same seasonal rituals for a period of weeks or months.

Such as ospreys nesting in old trees or man-made platforms, sea turtles laying their eggs along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts or swarms of beautiful monarch butterflies clustered briefly in the Panhandle as they migrate to Mexico.

In Florida, wildlife and nature viewing requires subtlety, time and patience. While are no guarantees animals and nature will abide by their normal internal clocks--millennia-old time schedules most of us still know little about—it’s always fun to go look.

And learn a little about these natural events along the way.
