Florida-Dry Tortugas Trip, May 11, 2019

Our last day was full of surprises like the rest of the trip. Our flight home was delayed, so we decided on one last birding outing to fill our extra time. Considering our options, we decided to to make up the route we missed on our days before heading to south Florida: we drove over to Merritt Island and found the entrance to Bio Lab Drive.
