Bald Eagles here

Eastern Indigo Snakes breed from Oct-Feb. During this time the snakes are found in sandhills and, although this is the peak of winter, indigo snakes are active at temps (50-60 F) that are typically too cool for other snake species.

Jan at the Loxahatchee Wildlife Refuge: Many bird groups spend the winter season at the Refuge. Many raptor species can be seen foraging over the wetlands or in the trees, including resident and migratory red-shouldered hawks. Hundreds of American robins, cedar-waxwings, and tree swallows are sometimes foraging in trees. Winter warblers such as prairie, orange-crowned, yellow-rumped warblers, northern water thrush, and ovenbirds also are found.
