My flight left Florida at 7:20 AM and it was Sunny and 72 deg. When I stepped off the plane, it was snowing and 17degrees! Yikes!

I spent a week in Florida visiting with relatives but had plenty of time to get out and do some birding. Many thanks to Sunfish33 for his help at the Viera Wetlands.

Below are a few of the photos I took at Viera and Merritt Island NWR.

The first tricolored is awesome. The eye is perfectly focused on its target and in perfect focus. The wing movement adds tension to the image.

Terrific shots of the always entertaining Tri Ed!

Sorry to hear you had to leave sunny FL and all the wildlife and are now in frozen PA.
Supposed to get close to 80 here in SC this weekend. :shock: :-)

Thanks for the comments. The Tri is a very active feeder and fun to watch.
