Re: Florida in September?

The El Nino winds are shearing the tops off tropical storms before
they reach the islands. Not to worry this year.

Re: Florida in September?

If you like to take pictures of birds go to the Merit Island Wildlife 
Sanctuary. It's an overwintering spot for a lot of migratory species 
from all over the east coast. There are also some manatee watching areas 
in that general vicinity.

Since she has a professional crew taking care of her car, and only has 
one 20 minute practice session on most of the days she'll be running, 
we should have a lot of free time.  It looks like we'll be about an 
hour north east of Orlando and an hour north of Cape Canaveral.


Any suggestions on what to see in that area?  Are any PDMLers in the 
vicinity?

IIRC, there's a natural area immediately west of Cape Canaveral that's worth 
the trip, especially with the right light.

I don’t know the area well but did have several business trips to NE Orlando, U 
Cntrl Fla neighborhood. In my “what to do while I’m here” searches I came up 
with many fine birding opportunities. Not prime season, but a search for 
Florida Birding Trail and similar might give you some ideas for specific 
outings…

Re: Florida in September?

[John]

The Alligator Farm in St. Augustine.

Canaveral National Sea Shore & Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge,
although they're closed to public access if NASA is launching anything.
You should be able to find a launch schedule on NASA's web site.

The Silver Springs attraction - where parts of the TV show "Sea Hunt"
were filmed - has been absorbed into Silver Springs State Park. I don't
know if they still have the glass bottom boats or not.

Cypress Gardens is now part of Legoland Florida and I can't figure out
if anything is left from the historic attraction.

I don’t know the area well but did have several business trips to
NE Orlando, U Cntrl Fla neighborhood. In my “what to do while I’m
here” searches I came up with many fine birding opportunities. Not
prime season, but a search for Florida Birding Trail and similar
might give you some ideas for specific outings…
