Black Point Wildlife Drive

Yesterday afternoon we went on a photography field trip to the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge. It is about 40 miles east of Orlando on the coast of Florida.
Six of us piled into our friend's HHR with our cameras at the ready.
It was a little cold for us Floridians who were in shorts and our Florida wildlife, it was in the 50s. However, I loved the cooler weather! We saw mostly birds, all kinds... Osprey, Wood Stork, Roseate Spoonbill, and White Ibis. We also saw ducks (not sure what kind) and one gator for half a minute... it was just too chilly for gators to be out and about.
We drove and walked through the wildlife refuge taking pictures. We only set the car alarm off once, yea.. we weren't so popular with the other photographers and birdwatchers when that happened. After we toured the refuge we drove over to Cocoa to have a wonderful dinner at Florida Seafood Bar and Grill.
Excellent Day!

I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Peace & Love,
Kim
