Canoe Creek Road

28.04743 , -81.22376

United States of America (USA)

Once you get away from the development of St. Cloud and drive out towards Kenansville, you will see the landscape change and become mostly sod farms and cattle ranches. This area is the best habitat to find the Florida subspecies of the Crested Caracara within an hour drive of Orlando. You will usually see them from the road perched on a fencepost, tree, or ground.
