Convoy Point Details
Bird watching begins as soon as you enter Biscayne National Park by land at Convoy Point. At the main entrance, you'll often spot Yellow-Crowned Night Herons, and in the parking area you're likely see migratory warblers. On the 1/4-mile jetty walk, look out for shorebirds, terns, and Double-Crested Cormorants; closer to the visitor center, Loggerhead Shrikes and Northern Mockingbirds may be seen. In the mornings and evenings, watch overhead for wading birds, including White Ibis, flying to or from their roosts.
