I had the good fortune to be able to spend a few hours at Merritt Island
Wildlife Refuge before a meeting I had in Orlando Wednesday evening. It was a
beautiful afternoon. I saw most of the normal waders, several duck species, a
few shore birds and located one Scrub Jay for my year list.

I saw:

Shoveler

Pintail

Red-head

Lesser Scaup

Blue-wing Teal

Green-wing Teal

American Widgeon

Eurasian Widgeon (I think)

Mottled Duck

Mallard

Ruddy Duck

Bald Eagle on Nest

Red-tailed Hawk

Red-shouldered Hawk

Only one Osprey

Heard a Carolina Wren

Heard Palm Warblers

Blue-grey Gnatcatcher

Yellow Rump

Sandwich Tern

Black Bellied Plover

Avocet

Dunlin

Least Sandpiper
