Why fly . . .
when you can ride?
We wrapped up our trip with a few nights at Manatee Hammock campground (Titusville FL) which allowed us to visit Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge and Orlando Wetlands. Although it is not yet prime season, and the rainy weather we had avoided all trip finally found us, we still found enough birds and other critters to keep us amused.
On one trip around Merritt Island, we picked up a hitchhiker. This Boat-tailed Grackle landed on the roof then hopped down to the mirror where he stayed for at least a quarter mile.
Scroll down for a few more photos from our last days on the road which include my closest encounter ever with a cormorant. He almost sat in my lap. His real goal was the bait being used by the fisherman to my left and was totally unphased by our presence.
