While you guys were freezing your tushies off today, I was birding in
sunny, 80 degree weather at Merritt Island NWR.  I saw 76 species but
dipped on the Florida Scrub Jay.  The volunteer at the visitors center
told me 2 places they were being seen.  I checked each place 3 times
during the day to no avail.

Some of the birds I saw were:
both Brown and White Pelicans
Wood Stork
Glossy and White Ibis
Roseate Spoonbill (great looks)
thousands of shorebirds
Royal Tern
Ground Dove
and 5 warbler species - Northern Parula, Yellow-rumped, Palm, Northern
Waterthrush and Common Yellowthroat.

Enjoy the snow on Tuesday.  :)
