点评:The Bird Rock Point Trail is off the main highway near the east end of the island, and a little tricky to find, but the trailhead is well marked. The trail is about one mile to the cliff overlook, with no side trails. Wear sturdy shoes for this hike, as the trail is easy to follow, but rocky and irregular, with treacherous footing if you don't pay attention. This trail is unfinished in that there are many wood frames along the path, evidently for explanatory signs, which are entirely lacking. The web site for this trail says it was finished in 2014, and since then there seems to have been no effort to provide signs or an on-line field guide.
I walked this path at mid-day, not prime time for bird watching, and I didn't see much. The habitat is mostly overgrown karst limestone, with a tidal wetland about 2/3 the way to the overlook. As with most of the island, there was a fair amount of trash along the trail. At the overlook you can see the conch farm to the north and west - nothing special in terms of the view, but you can say you saw the conch farm.
As far as bird watching, I had better luck at our nearby BnB - bananaquits, woodstar hummingbirds, and various water birds in abundance.
翻译:鸟岩角步道 (Bird Rock Point Trail) 位于岛东端附近的主要高速公路旁,有点难找,但步道起点有明显标记。这条小路距离悬崖观景台约一英里,没有旁路。这次徒步旅行请穿坚固的鞋子,因为这条小路很容易走,但布满岩石且不规则,如果您不注意的话,脚下会很危险。这条小路尚未完工,因为沿途有许多木框架,显然是为了解释性标志,但完全没有。这条步道的网站称其于 2014 年完工,从那时起,似乎就没有再提供任何标志或在线实地指南。
我走这条路的时候是中午,不是观鸟的黄金时间,也没看到什么。栖息地主要是杂草丛生的喀斯特石灰岩,到观景台的 2/3 处有潮汐湿地。与岛上的大部分地区一样,沿途有相当多的垃圾。在观景台上,您可以看到北边和西边的海螺养殖场——景色没有什么特别的,但您可以说您看到了海螺养殖场。
至于观鸟,我在附近的 BnB 运气更好——香蕉树、林星蜂鸟和各种水鸟。
