I used the above link to guide me the first time I visited
the Venice rookery. It is my favorite bird photography
spot in Florida and I have returned many times.
My favorite spots are illustrated in my photos:

I have been there in early March, and it was great at the times
I was there. I have not been to Corkscrew (it's been on my list,
but I haven't seen photos from others to really draw me there).
Fort deSoto can be nice too, mainly shore birds. I've been several
times and would go back.
I have not been to Florida for 1.5 years. How has
Ding Darling recovered from the hurricane?
