It really made me feel like I knew exactly what RTP and Fisher saw that day, decades ago. Same goes for your wood stork post!

I took a pontoon ride on the Banana River, an airboat ride on the St. John's River, and birded Lake Woodruff NWR. I came back with a trip list of 64 species, including 11 Life Birds. Unfortunately, Reddish Egret was not one of them.<BR><BR>I got my Life Bittern at Lake Woodruff (my blog entry for Jan. 28) and right now I am in the middle of preparing my anhinga post. Aren't they weird birds? Central Florida has a whole lot more interesting things to see and do than just visiting the Mouse.<BR><BR>Looking forward to more about your trip, although I'm sure your photos will be much better than mine.<BR><BR>~KathiKatDochttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13186814675058675885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2552045987668023231.post-81285196181536127232008-01-29T18:53:00.000-05:002008-01-29T18:53:00.000-05:00Funny, every time I see this festival mentioned, I...Funny, every time I see this festival mentioned, I think "Space Ghost, Coast to Coast!" I visited Kennedy Space Center before becoming a birder and was still impressed with all of the wildlife and birds I saw there. I'm looking forward to more of your reports!crazyforcinemahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05743611996716836061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2552045987668023231.post-8706192403967733052008-01-29T11:43:00.000-05:002008-01-29T11:43:00.000-05:00The mental picture I had of the egret flouncing ar...The mental picture I had of the egret flouncing around me made smile.
