Looking at a possible early summer trip to Clearwater-my daughter wants to visit the marine rehab center thanks to the Dolphin Tale movies. Looking for some other wildlife type stuff  while there-any reliable places near Clearwater or Venice to see rattlesnakes or caracaras(the birds)?

Would love to get pictures of a big diamondback after finding a couple timbers up here.

We had already talked about goinging to Venice so that's covered. Willing to do more driving time to get away from buildings.

Ft Desto Park in St Pete has a very nice beach, cool spot to check out.

Consider heading further South on I-75 and visit the Everglades. There are lots of tours and things to do. You could charter a boat and explore the Ten Thousand Islands.

A definite possibility-most of the critters I want to see can definitely be found there.

If you want to see dolphins in the wild check out the Dolphin Racer boat in St Pete.
