Pelagic Trip cancelled, Bird Buggy readied for repairs.
Due to inclement weather conditions the Pelagic Trip scheduled for the last day of the Space Coast Birding and Wildlife Festival was cancelled. Flip and I returned to Black Point Drive in the Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge to enjoy the myriads of waterfowl, American Avocets, Pied Billed Grebes, and probably the largest number of American
Coots we had ever seen!
Coot "city"!
Roseate Spoonbills are almost a guaranteed species on this drive and we were not disappointed.
The most outstanding sighting was watching five Reddish Egrets all hunting together in one pond beyond the A. Coots.
One of the five Reddish Egret seen on Black Point Drive.
Knowing that the Bird Buggy was to be loaded on a flatbed and shipped to Apopka, FL to a Freightliner garage the next day, we spent the remainder of the day figuring out how to stow the contents of the R/V so it would not be in shambles when we arrived in Apopka.
