Thanks Jer. My eye finds it a bit confusing but still, it was a lot of fun to finally get a shot of these guys.

You would be surprised at how easy it is to become familiar with the state. Start by picking one place you want to see (i.e. Merritt Island) then stand next to a photographer and ask him where the best place to photograph Roseates for example, or Burrowing Owls. He or she will tell you and every time you do that you find another place to go and see. The refuges, wetlands, swamps, etc. are so numerous that you will find it easy to keep busy for the entire breeding season. You won't have to travel far either unless you want to. We spend a month there most years and it just isn't long enough.
