October - From the Editor
Well here I am. It's been four moths since my last "editorial" posting. My life as a webmaster/web developer gets in the way of the thing I love most. Following birds around Florida, writing and photographing them.
It is my hope to turn this site into a well informative Florida Bird site. I have been working overtime spreading the word about it and trying to connect to some hopeful contributors for the future.
So while I am mentioning this I would like to encourage our readers to feel free, sending in articles for possible publishing. All I ask is to keep the content relevant to this site and include sharp focused photos. Submit them to my email address for review.
On another note I must add a word of caution to all bird watchers and photographers that make our Florida Parks a part of their stomping ground. With the numerous budget cuts throughout the State unfortunately our Parks are suffering greatly. Mowing has become a job done sparingly and the results are of course tall weeds and grass creating excellent hiding places for snakes and gators. Be careful when out and about on these trails. The kind of wildlife in these places are the kind we like to see at a distance!
Happy Birding!

Celebrate National Wildlife Refuge Week in Your State October 12-18, 2009
“President Teddy Roosevelt established tiny Pelican Island in Florida in 1903 as the first National Wildlife Refuge. Roosevelt’s mission was clear: protect Pelican Island’s birds from poachers and plume hunters,” said Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar. “And with that simple promise of wildlife protection, the National Wildlife Refuge System was born. It is my hope that citizens across the country will take advantage of this weeklong celebration to experience wildlife in their natural habitats and play a firsthand role in conservation by participating in special events and programs, or simply observing and enjoying the great outdoors at a local refuge.”
