Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary

Fodor's Review:

When pelicans and other birds become entangled in fishing lines, locals sometimes carry them to the nonprofit Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary, founded by Ralph Heath and dedicated to the rescue, repair, recuperation, and release of sick and injured birds. At times there are hundreds of land and sea birds in residence, including egrets, herons, gulls, terns, sandhill cranes, hawks, owls, and cormorants.
