It might be a long shot this month, as my birding time is limited and I am already scheduled to go to The Dry Tortugas and Merritt Island. But I am back in June and October, so there are still opportunities to pick up some good birds there later in the yearRobert Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12427373234806034381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221630420525032327.post-11773420970910363632012-03-13T15:07:09.671-07:002012-03-13T15:07:09.671-07:00Whoa!!

(Great photo.)<br /><br /><a href="http://madison-outdoors.com/native_birds.htm" rel="nofollow">Madison, Florida (located in the north-central part of the state) is also a great birding location.</a> Madison County is the home of two rivers, numerous lakes and swamps, and cool, natural springs for all to enjoy.<br /><br />Madison has a low population density and virtually no industrial development. Home to numerous bird species, the Lidell Brothers Nature Center is "ground central" for birders. The center is located on the campus of NFCC and is open to all visitors.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14091765014293278182noreply@blogger.com
