Observation details

Green Trail - continuing bird. Go through the parking lot after bridge behind Nature Center (do NOT follow green trail sign). Look for a Dump station for campers on the left after you pass through the camping area. Just ahead of that, on the left is a sign that says Campfire Circle. Take that concrete path that goes left there, branching still left onto the dirt when you get to the bench area on the right. When you reach a Y in the trail and a sign that says "Shaped by fire", head right (west). Not too much farther down that path, you will see where there is vegetation on the left that is suddenly significantly shorter. STOP. On the right, at I think the second pine tree, is a clump of fruiting palmetto. The EAWH is on a thin horizontal pine branch just above the stick branches above the palmetto.
