Wilson's Phalarope
I had a pretty fun time at Merritt Island this morning.  Easily the biggest highlight for me was a Wilson's Phalarope.  I found it on Bio Lab Rd.  Black-necked Stilts were also there, and I always enjoy them.

Blackpoint Drive was also pretty fun. I couldn't believe how many Reddish Egrets were there--I counted 18, and two of them were white morphs.  By the first parking lot there were many shorebirds, including one Wilson's Plover.  I also found a Golden Silk Orbweaver spider with a lunch.  I only wish I could tell what it had caught.
