Birding in the Casey Key / Sarasota Area

The Casey Key / Sarasota area is truly a birder's paradise.  Most birds are present throughout the year with a peak time during the spring and fall migrations.  Winter means good birding because the population swells with the winter visitors.  Florida's indigenous species are here in the summer along with those birds that come to nest in Florida during the summer.

Florida has been blessed with large diversity of birds in the nation - more than 480 species with about half which can be found on Florida's Gulf Coast.  The Casey Key / Sarasota area is nationally recognized as one of the top birding areas in the nation.

Birding is one of America's fastest growing outdoors sports.  There is no better place to start birding than the Casey / Sarasota area.

There are numerous top birding sites in this Florida Gulf Coast region.  A brief listing of some of the more popular nearby birding sites are:

• Sarasota Keys - Casey Key, Siesta Key, Lido Key, Longboat Key, etc.
• Celery Fields - Located at Fruitville Road and I-75 in Sarasota.
