Green Cay is Palm Beach County's newest nature center.
The wetland features 1.5 miles of elevated boardwalk.
It overlooks 100 acres of constructed wetland and provides a unique experience for viewing native species of birds, gators, turtles, ducks and more!Adam and I really enjoyed our time here, cruising around the boardwalks in the hot sun and taking in the sights.When we arrived Adam immediately spotted a corn snake in the dry bushes. Some other dude jumped at the chance to pick it up, knowing it was not poisonous.
I was enamored with the turtles. Check out the claws on that one!
But the best sight by far was this guy:
We only saw one Alligator here and he was smaller in comparison. He was pretty far away, too. The Green Cay Nature Center is open Tuesday - Saturday 9 am-3 pm. (Closed Sunday and Monday).
Aw! I love the turtle pictures. I would be pretty smitten with them too.
ReplyDeleteHahaha yeah I bet he loves you! :-D Isn't it cool to think that alligators are ex-dinosaurs? because they are, aren't they, they used to be around way back then, too... (well at least that's what some books say!)
