We want to spend a week in the Cocoa Beach, FL area in the Spring of 2016. What months would we see the most migrating birds and where in that area? Our time frame is anywhere from March thru the end of May.

TIA,

Probably mid April would be the best time. Merritt Island is a great place to bird.

Thank you for your help. I was in Merritt Island last year in June and it is a great area for birding even though we were a bit late for the migrating birds we still saw quite a few of our local variety of birds.
