I’m pretty much finished with traveling for the rest of the year, but I’m prepping for adventures next year and I am OH so excited. I’m going to do the Space Coast Bird Festival in January and what’s really fun for me is that I’ll get to help on the field trips and I’m going to a fantastic digiscoping spot, Viera Wetlands where I had the most amazing personal appearance with an American bittern. Here are one of the photos:
So, here’s my schedule for where I’m helping at the festival (along with many other GREAT field trip leaders):
January 21 – Viera Wetlands
January 22 – South Brevard (oh dear, it leaves at 4:30am)
January 23 – Viera Wetlands
January 25 – Gull ID (gulls, why did it have to be gulls)
January 26 – Pelagic Trip
This is just going to be a digiscoping bonanza (apart from the pelagic). I’ll also be doing two different workshops: Blogging: The New Nature Journal and City Birds/Country Birds, how to attract birds anywhere.
Plus, there will be the whole festival gang there as well. Something to look foward to as we have all these cold days ahead of us in Minnesota.
Uhhh – that’s in my neighborhood!
Maybe I stop by!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
Cheers, Klaus
leading a gull ID class – now that is funny!
The space coast is great Sharon, I usually lead trips but can’t make it this year because of college. Viera is great for digiscoping as is the rest of our state. Hope you have a good time.
happy turkey day

I myself wondered how the heck I ended up on a gull id trip.
Fortunately, I’m not the only field trip leader for the gull id workshop. And hey, I can help with the common ones and more to the point, how to get some kick ass digiscoped shots of them.
Without a field guide name most the most common gulls you’ll see in Florida, besides the obvious Laughing Gull.
