I thought everyone would like a warm weather diversion from all of this cold weather birding. I spent last week in Florida doing some camping, kayaking, fishing, and a little birding. Most of these birds were seen from the kayak or from our camp, though I did hit a few spots with Bob and Denise Lane.
