Lake Somerset Rookery

Our very own Lake Somerset is home to many varieties of Central Florida wading birds, including roseate spoonbills and wood storks.    This lake is a prime nesting colony for many other varieties of wading birds but has the largest colony of wood storks.  Recently signs have been posted around the islands so that boaters will keep their distance from the islands to prevent disturbing nests.
