Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, FL

Black-necked Stilt
Driving the 7 mile auto tour along Black Point Wildlife Drive on Merritt Island is a favorite spot for birdersin Florida. Even though it is not the "best" season to see the birds we had a great time.  There were Common Gallinule with chicks, Black-necked Stilts and Roseate Spoonbills among the highlights. We went back for a second drive around late afternoon. Then we took a dirt road drive around where we saw Willets with chicks, more Black-necked Stilts and Yellow Legs before turning around to come back as night was falling.
