Dry tortugas national park is famous for abundant sea life, colorful coral reefs and legends of shipwrecks and sunken treasures. The parks centerpiece is Fort Jefferson, a massive but unfinished coastal fortress. It is the largest masonry structure in the Western Hemisphere, and is composed of over 16 million bricks. A small freshwater fountain beneath Buttonwood trees represents the only freshwater source for many miles, and is a popular spot to watch migrant birds.http://www.wildlifeworld360.com/dry-tortugas-national-park.html

Hi Ed, Looks like your Antillean Nighthawk spot was the Key West airport. I'd reconize those retricted signs anywhere. I picked up my lifer ANNI there on July 2nd at the east end of th airport. Love seeing your trip pictures.... I focus too much on birds only.... Matt
