Was psyched to take an up and coming young birder, 13 yr old Robert McCarthy, here in Brevard County, FL, birding this morning to Turkey Creek Sanctuary in Palm Bay, FL. He is so attentive and has great id skills. He was able to observe 4 life birds: Northern Parula, Black-throated Blue Warbler(m&f), Red-eyed Vireo and Worm-eating Warbler. Space Coast Audubon is partially sponsoring Robert so he can attend ABA's Camp Avocet in Lewes, DE, August 1-7, 2015. We know Robert will be a solid birder taking everything in and look forward to a presentation about his camp experience. I'm hoping with Robert coming to the front, reinvigorate Gabe Cenker and see if we can coax Johan Reijm to join us I'm hoping we might be able to resurrect the Young Birders of Brevard and make this wonderful group take off like I know it can. Just need to find other young birders in Brevard County.
