State Road 976, locally known as Bird Road, is a commercially important route extending eastward from the Homestead Extension of Florida's Turnpike (SR 821) in Westwood Lakes, Florida to U.S. Route 1 (SR 5) in Miami, running south of downtown Miami in Miami-Dade County, Florida. Its length is a subject for debate as there is no definitive indication as to the exact location of its western terminus and there is no SR 976 signage east of West 37th Avenue (Douglas Road) in Miami. According to the Florida Department of Transportation, the length is approximately eight miles.

Famous quotes containing the words bird and/or road:
“With the holders holding my hand nearing the call of the bird,
Comrades mine and I in the midst, and their memory ever to keep, for the dead I loved so well,
For the sweetest, wisest soul of all my days and
lands—and this for his dear sake,
Lilac and star and bird twined with the chant of my soul,
There in the fragrant pines and the cedars dusk and dim.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“With only one life to live we can’t afford to live it only for itself. Somehow we must each for himself, find the way in which we can make our individual lives fit into the pattern of all the lives which surround it. We must establish our own relationships to the whole. And each must do it in his own way, using his own talents, relying on his own integrity and strength, climbing his own road to his own summit.”
—Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
