TRIP REPORT, JANUARY 12, 2019
We had some doubts about how the government shutdown would impact our use of the facilities at Merritt Island, but the birds had no such qualms, showing up en masse for our enjoyment.
The stars of the day were the American Avocet, feeding and moving together in a flock of over 50 birds. The Reddish Egrets proved more elusive; although, with some patience, one did make a nice showing for the photographers in the group.
