Birds and such of Florida
(or reason to bring camera while kayaking)
Well I made a page for about everything else, but omitted one of the pleasures of Kayaking in Florida.
The Birds!
Great Blue Herons having some fun!
Kayaking around Kennedy Space Center or Driving the east shore of Mosquito Lagoon & world famous Black Point Wildlife Drive.
Birds....
It is well established that the seven mile Black Point Wildlife Drive on the northern end of Kennedy Space Center is the best bird watching/photography location in the eastern United States.
Black Point- Amazing place, however often I am drawn to the quieter places of the Space Center and Refuge.
Call me an introvert, but I avoid the crowds (even the birding crowds and often seek the solitude of nature--- however I do not mind showing like minded folks the natural treasures of the Space Coast or the wilder parts of Florida.
Not the best photo, however the Suwanee River current was carrying us quickly past this hawk seeking a tasty snake.

My fictional series/stories on Florida history:
Freedoms Quest (book one)
Struggle for the northern frontier and other lost tales of old Florida.
Available on Amazon
Desperate times call for bold action.
In a desperate move to retain Florida and protect the treasure-laden galleons on their dangerous return journey to Europe, the King of Spain issues a royal decree offering refuge to all English slaves who escape Florida and pick up a musket to defend the coquina walls of Saint Augustine.
In another bold gamble, the King offers refuge to the dissatisfied Indian nations of the southeast who will take up arms against the English.
Clans, traumatized by war and disease, cross the Spanish Frontier to settle the cattle-rich land and burned missions of Florida.
Follow the descendants of the conquistador Louis Castillo in remote Spanish Florida, a wild and swept by diseases, hurricanes, and northern invasions.
Book Two: Available on Amazon!
