Florida is a paradise for those who, like me, love to watch and take pictures of birds. I was in Orlando last September and took a week on the east coast of Florida, following the Great Florida Birding and Wildlife Trail. This trail connects hundreds of viewing places, parks and reserves; if you want to visit the trail, go to www.floridabirdingtrail.com and make your itinerary.
