Wow, what a sweet deal, if I were able and not already committed to shooting other locations, go in a heart beat. Looks like quite a tour in a short time from cleveland! You need someone to share the driving too!

Man I wish I could go, have a great time, i'm jealous!

why so many places in such a short span of time; I have lived in the Florida area for almost 20 years, that is a really full plate

I go every year. Been to all these places before. Spent 7 months in the Keys last year. It's just to get away and see what I can add to my collection. Using different gear this year.

Have you stopped at the St. Augustine Alligator Farm, with your equipment, this would be a perfect venue for you. You will find many breeding birds very close to the boardwalk and also many birds in flight. Usually April and May is the best months but it will be good for you at this time.
