Birds of the Merritt island National Wildlife Refuge Florida
A sampling of wading birds, waterfowl and shorebirds on a drive through Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge near Kennedy Space Center, Florida. There are around 300 species of birds at the wildlife refuge the most commonly seen on the wildlife drive are herons and egrets, ducks, grebes, Ospreys and Ibis - and of course alligators. For photo and video the best time is early morning with the sun rising in the east to get that nice rich light and pretty water. As the day progresses the light gets harsher. It is always a challenge to film pure white birds as automatic settings on cameras tend to lead to over exposure. In these conditions I sometimes under-expose by 2 to 3 clicks as you can see the improvement starting at 0:26 you can also experiment with white balance settings.

The Merritt Island Adventure
This video is a documentary of the lives of the homesteaders living on Merritt Island in Florida in the area that is now owned by NASA operating the Kennedy Space Center and also managed as Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge. NASA used eminent domain to acquire the property in the late 1950's - 60's. Here are the stories of how people lived very primitively on the land and what happened when they were forced to move. For this film, they were brought back to the homestead, back to the very foundations where they still existed. Some early settlers are able to visit their home sites where the land is open to the public; however, some have never had access to their home site because it lies within the security area of Kennedy Space Center. Many residents are proud that their land went to support a successful space program that sent man to the moon! Although residents were forced to move, they are glad the land is protected as a National Wildlife Refuge and not developed like so much of the Florida coastline. The refuge remains pristine and very similar to how they remembered growing up there.
Another Day At Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge
I found myself in Florida again during March so I decided to go back out the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge for another day of shooting with my Sony PXW-FS7. This video is a companion to my other Merritt Island video that I shot in February:
I have no idea what I am going to do with all this bird footage but it was certainly fun to shoot nevertheless. Maybe I need an intervention.

Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, Titusville, Florida
Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, Titusville
My family and I are great wildlife enthusiasts and whenever we come to Florida we always try to visit a State Park as we are fascinated by the native wildlife. This year we visited Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, in Titusville, which is a stunning 140,000 acres of coastal dunes, saltwater estuaries, marshes and freshwater impoundments. These wide varieties of habitats are home to more than 1,500 species of plants and animals and can be enjoyed by visitors through many recreational opportunities such as bird and wildlife observation, a wildlife drive and a manatee observation deck.
The best place to see wildlife is along the Black Point Wildlife Drive. It's a 7-mile, one-way drive that takes about 40 minutes and feels like you are on an African Safari! One to two hours after sunrise and one to two hours before sunset are the best times to view wildlife actively feeding. We arrived at about 4.30pm, and as it was early February the sun began to set soon after 5.00pm, so we were treated with a magnificent sunset, breathtaking scenery and an incredible array of beautiful birds, so if you are a keen photographer, you certainly won't be disappointed!
To top that, as we left the park and drove down the road leading to the exit, we saw a large cat run across, as we got closer we then saw two smaller cats also run across. At first we thought they were some kind of small wild cats, but as there were no cars around my brother got out to have a closer look and soon realised they were actually baby Bob Cats because of their short stubby tails and striking fur patterns! How lucky was that!
Manatee Viewing at Merritt Island Wildlife Preserve, FL
My cousin Jeannette and niece Elizabeth (visiting from my home state of TX) joined Bruce and I watching Manatees today... Such fun! There were about 15 feeding and playing in a cove. Sometimes they would surface three at a time and nuzzle! What a nice memory!
