We got up and out early to take a 3.75 mile hike at this preserve in Bradenton, which "consists of 682 acres that is a mix of preserved mangrove, tidal marsh, and former agricultural lands which have undergone an incredible transformation to coastal wetland habitat." We saw a variety of birds and water life. One of the trails heads out to Tampa Bay, and there is an observation tower that we will take another day.
