Gone to See America. January 2013 Florida Road Trip. Day 7: Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge.
While driving from the Black Point Wildlife Drive exit to Biolab Road, I noticed the Red-Shouldered Hawk that I observed the previous day just north of the Wilson corner intersection.

I am a scientist by training (Eckerd College, BSc; Caltech, Ph.D.). I worked for 27 years as a Chemist in the Pharmaceutical Industry developing processes to manufacture medicines for human and animal health. I now spend my time as a photographer and world traveler. My interests include the natural world, wildlife, landscapes, sky, and seascapes, travel, and astrophotography. I look for unique ways of viewing the world and presenting my images. I have traveled to over 55 countries in six continents, often on Semester at Sea voyages. While at home in New Jersey, I spend time on home renovation and expansion of a wildflower garden/meadow.
