Informative blog post by Kevin Doxstater about Roseate spoonbills he observed and photographed at the Space Coast Birding and Wildlife Festival. Spoonbills are the most colorful of Florida's waterbirds and are often confused with flamingos.

"As I was driving along a pair of Roseate Spoonbills flew in and landing near the wildlife drive and began to forage which prompted me to stop and shoot a little."

Sharon Steitler's birding blog posts are always entertaining and this post about gull watching at the Space Coast Birding and Wildlife Festival 2009 is no exception.

"Word on the street among gull watchers was that Daytona Beach in late afternoon was the place to be. It’s near the Tamoka Landfill. I’m sure many of the gulls we saw there ended up on the beach. The gulls are staging along the beach before flying out to the ocean to sleep at night. Rumor had it that there could be 50,000 gulls coming into the beach. And if you were in the mood for a game of Where’s Waldo, you could pick out some interesting gulls among the many common ones like the ring-billed gull above."
