Titusville's Rotary Riverfront Park is a great place to take a quick stop and see a good variety of birds. This small park includes a pier that extends about 500 feet out into the Indian River (Inter Coastal Waterway). There are three extentions to the pier each extending another 100 feet south from the main pier. It is on these extensions that the birds may be seen. On a typical visit you may see the following:
- Royal Tern
- Black Tern
- Double-crested Cormorant
- Wood Stork
- Laughing Gull
- Brown Pelican
- Ruddy Turnstone
- Common Grackle
- Osprey
- Belted Kingfisher
- Great Blue Heron
- Snowy Egret
- Tri-colored Heron
Black Tern Trio - Morning Song
You may also see Dolphin swimming a few yards east of the pier. If you
are lucky you may even see several Roseate Spoonbills fly by.
The park has a small covered pavilion, just in case it rains. The
Titusville Rotary Riverfront Park is a great place to take a packed
lunch and just enjoy a few minutes of nature's wildlife show.
The park is wheelchair accessible and admission is free.
