From: Subject:Re: March visit to Merritt Island Refuge Gloria: March is a great time to visit the Central Florida area for birds, especially the Merritt Island Refuge. Also consider visiting the Orlando Wetlands Park and the Blue Heron Water Reclamation Wetlands. Directions to both locations are on Great Birding Locations At Merritt Island you can expect to see the following: Roseate Spoonbill Wood Stork White Pelican Brown-headed Pelican Redish Egret Great Egret Snowy Egret Green Heron Greate Blue Heron Little Blue Heron Tri-colored Heron --- Pintail Northern Shoveler Blue-winged Teal American Coot -- Avocet Pied-billed Grebe Sora -- Nesting Bald Eagle Osprey Double-crested Cormorant Anhinga -- Turkey Vulture Black Vulture -- Black Skimmer Ring-billed Gull Franklin's Gull Caspian Tern Royal Tern Ruddy Turnstone -- 30+ different species of Shore birds including: Dunlin, Yellow Legs, Dowitcher, Solitary Sandpiper and Black-bellied Plover -- Alligators Be sure to stop by the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge visitor's center for a listing of recent unusual sightings. Don't forget to pack and use your insect repellent. The insects have not been too bad recently but they can be annoying.Regards, ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To: Subject:March Visit Hello-- As a fellow birder from New York State who will be visiting Florida in March, I was delighted to visit your Central Florida Bird Watcher's Page. I'm particularly interested in visiting the Merritt Refuge, which I've not been to before. And I note that it's starred on the calendar of the Tropical Audubon Society fro the 5th through the 7th of March which will be just about the time we'll be in Florida. Would it be too much to ask you what birds will be of special interest then? Other areas are also starred on that calendar. Does that mean they too are choice spots for those days? Many thanks for any help you may provide.
