I was fortunate to attend an annual Birding Festival in Titusville, FL and was able to take a couple of field trips with pros. The learning curve definitely improved. Beautiful place in winter.

Very nice set, Tom. I've been looking for that Eagle at Merritt Island, but was never able to spot it. Neither the Scrub Jay. Were these taken mainly at the Black Point Wildlife Drive?

I could say yes, but I'm not sure. We did drive onto the island and followed a dirt road through the wetlands. It was to the Northwest of Kennedy and for sure a beautiful place. I hope to return and spend more time there.

Beautiful! Have you ever tried taking some shots in South Florida? The birds may not be as beautiful, but the everglades and marine life (especially the marina life!) make for some great shots

Thank you. Yep, that sounds like the Black Point Drive.

The Eagle nests can be seen at one of the markers (I can't recall which one) along the the Black Point Wildlife Drive; they're across the marsh in the trees. They can be tough to see even with binoculars depending on the light, and my 500mm lens didn't bring them that close... however, if you are patient, you will see the nests, and may even see an Eagle winging it's way over the marsh in search of dinner.

South Florida is a future post. We arrived in January and made our way down the Atlantic Coast and back up the Gulf Coast to Pensacola. The only problem I had in the Miami area was, it was hot even in lat January. But, I do love the Everglades and photo ops there.
