Where we had hundreds of ducks only a month ago, today there were none. It appears to be that time of year when it’s “Out the old and In the the new”

Eastern willets head south in winter while Western willets head east? What’s up with that???

A quick look at some of the amazing flora found on Turtle Mound in Canaveral National Seashore at New Smyrna Beach, FL. One plant can even send its seeds across oceans to recolonize other shorelines!

The waters of Bethune Beach Park have heated up to the 70 degree mark making this park an inviting place for warm-water loving manatees.

A perfect day for golf and for birding…so why not both? Join us for some great birds (if not birdies) on Hidden Lakes Golf Course on the first day of spring.

Spring has sprung and Viera Wetlands offered us some wonderful views of Mother Nature making its move to repopulate the wilds of Florida with new additions to the avian world.

Spectacular moonrises, rocket launches all topped off with a total lunar eclipse made for a great couple of nights to keep our eyes to the skies.
