Merritt Island Jan 2010

Our first stop. The cold (40's) & windy weather kept some of the birds away, and those that were there were often further away. The cold has also killed some fish, so there were more vultures around here and all the way down the east coast. You can view the images as a slide show by clicking the slide show button upper right or you can click on a particular image to enlarge it.(they look much better that way.) .
