I've just got back from my annual trip to northern Florida for the northward migration and nesting season.  I only had three days as the flights seemed to be all booked up.  This was mainly going to be a digiscoping trip using my new Kowa Lens/scope Prominar and some new Kowa kit kindly provided by Kowa USA. For cameras I was using Nikon P6000/7000/300 and Canon SD4000IS (Ixus 300 ). I also took along the Panasonic G1 and 100-300 zoom for action shots.
We spent most of the time around the Titusville area ( Merritt Island) and St. Augustine and the weather was great all three days.

Here are a few of the shorebirds that I saw.  Not many species on this trip and not many birds this season.  Only a few hundred in 3 days.
These are all digiscoped.
