Citrus County Audubon members were out in full force for these two days! I was greatly amazed at the number. This might be the most from CCAS to attend this one. Twenty-one participants enjoyed great weather and splendid birding. We had other members from Hernando Audubon joining in. The highlights from Orlando Wetlands had to be the male Vermilion Flycatcher and of course the Groove-billed Ani spotted by Jim Meyer. Jim got photos of which I will be sharing when he forwards them to me. We had 50 species at this location.
Wednesday morning found all of us at the causeway at Merritt Island. There were many highlights from this day with the Scrub Jays at the park entrance to the Northern Gannets at the Canaveral National Seashore with the ending Great-horned Owl on Playalinda Beach Rd. The list from Merritt Island is at this link. The list from Orlando Wetlands is at this link.
Some of us enjoyed watching a pair of Crested Caracara from our motel balcony as they gathered materials to build nests.
Two great days of birding and still got out before the rains came.
