Need Help Finding Binoculars?

Hi Space Coast Audubon Society,

Hope spring time has been treating you well! The weather's great here and it's a perfect time for watching eagles in Colorado.

My name is Erica and I started www.allbestbinoculars.com as a passion project to help would-be consumers navigate the challenging maze of marketing bologna and find the perfect binocular to meet their needs.

I strongly believe that members of the Space Coast Audubon Society and visitors to the Space Coast Audubon Society's website would find my site to be a valuable resource. I hope you do, too, and would consider adding it as a resource on your site.

Thanks for your time and have a great day!

~ Erica

Join SCAS for April Meeting

On Friday evening, April 15, please join SCAS for our general meeting when our very special guest will be Dean Richard Pettit. Dean has lived in Central Florida in Brevard County since 1967. He developed an interest in Photography as a teen while living in Satellite Beach. After moving to Titusville in 1982, he realized that the area is a wildlife photographer's and outdoor lover's paradise due to the close proximity of Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, Canaveral National Seashore, properties owned and managed by the Brevard County Environmentally Endangered Lands Program, the St. Johns River Water Management District, and Brevard County Parks and Recreation Department. Plus our Indian River Lagoon, the most biologically Diverse Estuary in North America.

Doors open at 7:00, the meeting starts at 7:30 and refreshments will be served following the presentation.  All meetings are free and open to the public.
