Window in The Woods

Picture
Not every adventure has to be big or far away. In most communities there are small hidden places of solace if you know where to look, whether official or unofficial. In Sun City Center is the Window in the Woods, a bird observation shelter sponsored by the Eagle Audubon Society, an organization formed in 1982 dedicated to preserving wetlands and conservation education. The unmanned shelter has windows on all sides as well as a deck with benches. It is surrounded by forest with various birdfeeders and birdhouses. A short distance away lies a pond home to turtles, alligators, birds, and dragonflies.

The trail to Window in the Woods begins next to the RV storage place in back of the community garden off Del Webb. It runs along a raised bed of sand and shell fill next to swamps and along a golf course for part of the way. Continuing past the bird observation shelter, there are a few benches alongside on which to rest. One overlooks another pond. One sits in the shade of moss-covered trees. The trail finally ends behind the health center of Freedom Plaza, an assisted living community. If you live in Sun City Center and just need to get away for a short couple hours, this is the place to do it.
