Enchanting Shores Wildlife
Occasional visitors to the park include bears (especially if you don't follow the rules for putting out trash) and the odd python and iguana. Recently there were panthers that briefly entered our community which quickly ran off.
More common are many species of birds - especially along Henderson Creek. Aside from providing boaters a route to the gulf, Henderson Creek is also home to manatees - which can often be seen in the pond beyond the ESC boat dock. You may also see an alligator or two and, if you are lucky, a dolphin in Henderson Creek.
It's common to see large fish called mullet jumping in the creek. Mullet are not easy to catch with a hook and line - though a cast net can be effective.
Hope you enjoy all the wildlife Enchanting Shores Co-op has to offer.
