Sitting on the sea shore at Gap Point, overlooking Apalachicola Bay, you can see as the sun sinks low on the horizon. Off somewhere far off, a speedboat drones; above you, the harvest time wind whistles through the pine trees. At the point when you see St. George Island, you'll understand. Bring a lot of food and water; the walk is five miles every way. Following an hour or somewhere in the vicinity, stop and investigate either heading. Chances are there will not be another human for as far as the eye can see, aside from the occasional fisherman. You'll require a decent, exhaustive bird book. During my visit to see St. George Island, neo-tropical transient birds were traveling south for their colder time of year haunts in Central and South America and had started to show up in great numbers. Subsequent to watching the fight between the bald eagle and the two ospreys, climb along a one-mile nature trail that skirts the edge of East Slough and watch another cool-climate visitor circle over the coastal scrub. It was a marsh peddle, in search of what thought were mice.
