About Cedar Key Scrub
This 5,000-acre reserve protects 12 distinct natural communities including rare Florida scrub habitat that once supported breeding Florida scrub-jays. The diverse habitats of flatwoods, sandhills, and salt marshes provide excellent birding opportunities including sightings of bald eagles, swallow-tailed kites, and rare sparrows.
