Wildlife includes…..

White Squirrels

The Brevard/Horseshoe area is one of 3 places in the U.S. that you can find true

white squirrels (not albino). There is more than one story about how they came to

be in this area. In each case, they were “transplanted” here.

Birds

While walking the trails or resting in the hammock, you can enjoy seeing or listening to various birds including: owls, cardinals, hummingbirds, woodpeckers, sparrows, robin,

wrens, chickadees, bluebirds, yellow finches and mockingbirds.

If you are lucky, you may see an occasional hawk, falcon or blue heron fly overhead.

Wild Turkeys and mallards find their way to Branch ‘n Berry occasionally.
