We are going birding in the warmth of sunny Florida in February, and we'd like you to join us.  Cindy Hatcher and I will be making a return trip to Florida to explore the Orlando Wetlands, Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge, and other wetlands and birding spots in the area.  We plan to stay in Titusville which is about 30 minutes from Orlando Wetlands and about ten minutes from Merritt Island.  If time permits, we may also visit Cape Canaveral or if we are lucky, see a rocket launch depending on the schedule.  

Each registrant will be responsible for making their own reservations for accommodations and travel, but when we went in February, we found ourselves in the company of ten other SANP members at various stages of our trip.  This will be a wildlife and birding focused event, but you should plan on having opportunities to shoot a wide range of things including landscapes and macros.  We will provide a detailed itinerary for registrants, and you are welcome to come for some portion of or all of the applicable days.  

There are many options for travel and accommodations.  Allegiant Air has direct flights that fly on Monday and Friday - if you are like me and long drives are problematic.  There are lots of VRBO and AirBnB options as well as hotels and campsites.  Cindy and I have already made our airfare reservations to leave early Monday and return late Friday.  If anyone is interested in sharing a house or condo, please feel free to reach out to friends or fellow members if you want to stay together.  It is actually more reasonable to share a condo or house than individual hotel rooms based on our efforts.  If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Cindy or Kelli.
