One of the things I love about visiting the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge is you never know what you might see. On Sunday, July 16, I saw some birds I expected and one that was unexpected.

Merritt Island trip nets two new birds and some familiar ones
With the addition of two new birds that I spotted on Sunday at the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, my Birds Catalog total now is 120. The two newcomers came from high and low.

On a quest to see a Painted Bunting
It was a windy, cloudy Saturday when my wife Lisa and I decided to visit the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, but we had a goal in mind: Try to see a Painted Bunting.

Northern Flicker: Not your average woodpecker
He looks a little different from his woodpecker cousins. And he acts a little different than other woodpeckers, too.
