One of the less known parts of DuPuis is the Powerline Grade along the eastern perimeter. A one way trip is 13 miles long and can be traveled on foot, bike, horse, or car. As the name implies, the shellrock road parallels high tension power lines running south from the FPL Indiantown plant. The southern half of the road runs between a canal (with many resident alligators) and the adjacent Corbett WMA. You may also see otters, deer, birds and various Florida fauna. Bringing your camera is recommended. Happy caching!
The indigo bunting (Passerina cyanea) is a small seed-eating bird in the family Cardinalidae. During the summer it is found through most of the eastern and desert southwest of the United States, but it migrates to Central America, the Carribean, and southern Florida for the winter.
These birds have a very pronouced sexual dimorphism, but in color rather than size. Females are brown year-round. Males are blue and brown most of the year, but during breeding season they turn a vibrant cerulean blue with indigo heads.
