Dear friends,

I am happy to say that I am finally making my (bird photographer's) dream come true and for the first time since more than 10 years my travels will be bringing my wife and me back to Florida! We will be flying in and out of Jacksonville for the second half of April, and certainly be attending the St Augustine Bird and Photo Fest :) The plan is to drive for 2 weeks counter-clockwise - first to the gulf coast, maybe down to Sanibel Island, for the weekend to Miami ;) and then back up, visting Cape Kennedy and up to St Augustine.

Apart from that, I will work myself through the threads below to find out more about the best spots, as my understanding is that the "old" tips (Ding Darling) are no longer really the best. Does Artie have up-to-date field guides? And anybody tips for renting a boat trip (I would be willing to share costs, if one of you is there as well!). I remember something about flight photography from a pontoon boat but somehow have lost the link.

Greetings from Munich!
Christof
