Florida DigiScoping Merritt Island + Orlando Wetlands Part 1

I recently ventured outside the Jersey Zone to sample some fine Digiscoping opportunity's and to pick up some lifers to boot, also I had the utmost pleasure to to shoot and Bird with Roy Halpin, without his knowledge my trip wouldn't have been nearly as good.

First stop was Merritt Island Seashore wildlife refuge with I had a chance with some Roseate Spoonbills

White Ibis were also abundant , also I had to chuckle about the story Roy told me about the White Ibis.

Next stop was to a lovely ladies home in Titus ville with a terrific Bird Feeder set up, in which there were about 10 Painted Buntings.

Thanks Laurilee for sharing the wonderful Central Florida nature setting in her yard ,did I mention Laurilee founded the Space Coast Birding  and Wildlife Festival a wonderful 6day event
