Lots going on this Thanksgiving week! Some cool sightings this week, including a Cinnamon Teal, a Redhead and a Great Cormorant over in Vierra. Surf and White-winged Scoters have been seen at Manatee Hammock.
In SCAS news, we had a great presentation Friday night from Jim Stahl which included slides of many plants and critters that we don't get to see too often out here in Florida. SCAS wishes to thank Jim for a great presentation.
Over on the SCAS web site, we have updates to our Projects and Upcoming Events pages. Be sure to check them out!

Greetings from the new president
To all of our members and guests, let me say I am pleased to follow in the footsteps of our intrepid previous president, Jason Frederick, in leading the Space Coast Audubon Society in its mission. We have much to look forward to in the upcoming fall and winter season. Now is the time when migrants are passing through and our winter two legged visitors, both feathered and not, are arriving. I encourage you look for our field trips and meetings in the Limpkin and on line at spacecoastaudubon. org , or at yahoo groups SpaceCoastAudubon. You are welcome to bring friends or guests. Also, remember to put a Christmas Bird Count on your calendar, such as Cocoa on December 18 or Merritt Island on December 20 or South Brevard. Also, don’t forget to plan for the Space Coast Birding and Wildlife Festival January 26th through 31st, 2011.
As a fairly new member to the community, I am still becoming familiar with all of the natural wonders our region has to offer. Being a member or participant with Space Coast Audubon is a great way to explore our area. Supporting Audubon is a great way to ensure that the fabulous birds of our region have enough space and habitat to stay or return to for the winter. Read Audubon magazine or look at Florida Audubon’s website to find out more about how to keep our state and region an attractive habitat for our birds and other wild creatures who share our home.
Good Birding.

Welcome to Our Blog
The purpose of the Space Coast Audubon Society is to provide an opportunity for people to become aware firsthand of the value and beauty of nature. Through conservation and education, we hope to create an understanding of and interest in all wildlife, preserve irreplaceable natural resources and restore the Earth’s ecosystems of which mankind is an inseparable element.
The National Audubon Society had its beginnings at the turn of the century when many local Audubon clubs joined together over concern for the wading birds of the South whose numbers were being devastated by plume hunters. Today, the National Audubon Society includes over 500,000 members and more than 500 local chapters. The evolution and careful coordination of National Audubon's four areas of expertise—science, land management, education and activism—have made National Audubon a powerful and credible voice for the conservation of wildlife and natural resources.
Audubon of Florida (formerly Florida Audubon Society) is the oldest and largest environmental organization in the state. While allied with the National Audubon Society in many endeavors, Audubon of Florida concentrates the majority of its energies on Florida's most critical environmental issues. Audubon of Florida, with headquarters in Miami , has a network of 46 local chapters around the state with approximately 32,000 members.
The Space Coast Audubon Society was formed in the mid-1950s. Over the years this local chapter of both the Florida and National Audubon Societies has grown to include over 1,100 families and individuals. It is now Brevard County's largest all-volunteer environmental organization.
