Bird watch in your own backyard in Cedar Key

The sunset stateThe west coast splendor of Cedar Key offers a glimpse of a quiet way of life that is fading away in Florida.

CEDAR KEY -- This is a destination for the determined, not the sort of place you get to by making a wrong turn while driving somewhere else.Nestled along Florida's western coast -- about 50 miles southwest of Gainesville -- Cedar Key is one of those small towns that natives and longtime residents envision when they talk about "Old Florida."

The units are close enough to the water that you can do a fair amount of bird-watching from the comfort of home. Or walk to the complex's small private dock, and watch osprey and pelicans gliding over the scrub.

..wake up, have your coffee and birdwatch - sounds like my ideal...
