Over
400 acres just south of Keene's Pointe are designated as
the Tibet-Butler Preserve, housing a bird sanctuary and
several endangered species of animals and plants.
Tibet
Butler Preserve
Check
in at the visitor center for a schedule of special programs
and naturalist-led hikes. The Tarflower Loop Trail navigates
the scrub community, home to gopher tortoises, indigo snakes
and other burrow residents. Two boardwalks traverse wetlands
where herons and egrets, pileated, downy and red-bellied
woodpeckers, yellow-rumped warblers and kingfishers are
commonly spotted. The 1.0-mile Fallen Log Crossing Trail
is a good place to spot swallow-tailed kites (spring and
summer), red-tailed hawks, ospreys and the bald eagles that
regularly nest on the preserve. Stop at the bird feeders
at the visitor center and check for blue jays, cardinals,
tufted titmice and other common songbirds.
Windermere
Florida
Windermere
is located in Orange County, Florida, just a few miles south-west
of Orlando with a population of just over 2,000. Walt Disney
World and many other exciting attractions are only a few
miles away.
The
Town of Windermere
is located in southwest Orange County fourteen miles southwest
of Orlando, six miles southeast of Winter Garden, two miles
south of Ocoee, and approximately six miles north of Walt
Disney World. Windermere is surrounded by sand bottom lakes.
Lake Butler (the largest) is on the west, Lake Down on the
east, and Lake Bessie on the southeast. By means of a system
of canals, Butler, Down and six other lakes are connected
to form what is known as the Butler Chain of Lakes.
The
Town of Windermere Crest or Logo
The
crest or logo for the Town
of Windermere is based on that of the Town of Windermere,
England. The top left quarter shows three Windermere class
yachts, which were quite famous at one time. The bottom
left quarter represents the flag of Saint George, the Patron
Saint of England. The top right quarter is symbolic of an
ancient gate denoting Windermere as the gateway to the Lake
District. The bottom right quarter represents three char,
a rare and delicious species of trout, which are caught
in Lake Windermere (in England) at a depth of at least 90
feet using gold or gold-plated lures.
