An early winter morning trip over to Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge proved to be a successful trip. I rarely get over there during the winter months when wildlife is more plentiful. I stopped at the St. Johns bridge to catch the beautiful morning sunrise before continuing to Black Point Wildlife drive. The northern shoveler ducks was a first time sighting. The reddish egrets dancing in the water was fascinating. Many of the smaller shore birds were too far away to get great shots but with lots of cropping they are not too bad. I was hoping to see more spoonbills but they were fairly scarce. After the Black point drive I headed over to Bio Lab Road. It is less crowded and many more opportunities to see shore birds await. This time alligators were plentiful and plenty of white pelicans were flying overhead.
