Space Coast Birding Festival, Day 3

Our third and final day of attending the Space Coast Birding Festival started off on the wrong foot. Cloudy and overcast along with some wind gusts made the prospect of photographing any wildlife seem bleak. We had made plans to go find the Florida Scrub Jays again, but the uncooperative weather changed our minds; and we headed straight to the Viera Wetlands instead. We were hoping that Viera, being a little further south, would get clear skies faster than the Titusville area. That didn’t happen and we were once again taking photographs under gloomy skies. Surprisingly we still found some very good opportunities despite the weather.

I hope that you’ve enjoyed the picture previews I’ve posted over the past few days. These and the rest of the images from our trip will be processed and posted in the January gallery over the next week or so.
