Trip/area Description, with any special characteristics:

Toni Robinson Waterfront Trail is an area beside the Indian River Lagoon managed by the Indian River Land Trust.

“The one-mile trail starts with an easy walk through an open canopy scrub habitat and shaded oak hammock. The trail eventually loops around the mangrove forest and also features a shaded boardwalk through the mangroves and a dock with a covered bench over the lagoon” – IRLT. https://www.irlt.org/cfiles/public-trails.cfm

Hopefully we will see some migratory warblers in the oaks as well as shore and water birds along the lagoon front.
