Brevard Hot spots

Howdee all,

While at the Space Coast Birding and Wildlife festival,Jeff, Linda and I went on the Bird outing to the Brevard Hot spots.

Except…the spots weren't hot…

They were cold, burrrr....and no birds…But what did it matter….we had a beautiful sunrise

So..It was ok…

That there weren't that many birds…Here's one…

So bear with me…I got carried away..With the sunrise photos…Isn't it just so serene?

Birders looking at no birds…ok maybe a few Egrets and HeronsBut still it didn’t matter to me..I enjoyed the clouds…and the stillness of the water…And the quiet…Oh look…a non bird…:)

What do we have here?

A flock of birders

ok..enough of this you say… what about the birds?

No birds here…just beautiful clouds

OH here's a bird…a sweet Savannah Sparrow

Digiscoped by JeffWe left the non birdie area and went to  a few other local hot spots..that were hotter..

In one small pond ,in a housing development, were five Roseate SpoonbillAnd about a hundred Black-bellied whistling duckJust standing still in water…Looking like statues…A Turkey vulture in a nearby yard…For all the non birds on our first stop..we ended up seeing many birds..It was mostly by quick drive by birding….to and past the hotspots..

By the end of the day..we had 93 species..Of which I might have seen a bit over half and some for just seconds…So..not my type of birding..but we got a few places on our list to go back to…

Happy Birding!

Jeff and I are headed south as I type..in two days we will be near West Palm Beach..to visit family and to Bird with a few Facebook and twitter friends!

If anyone wants to join us let us know…This Sunday will be Green Cay.
