We visited Black Point Wildlife Drive at Meritt Island National Wildlife Refuge near Titusville, Florida this morning. Central Florida's recent lack of rainfall has dramatically affected the region. We saw small puddles in areas that are normally covered in water, birds and photographers. If you're planning to visit this normally very photographer friendly place, be advised that it may take a while for the birds to return once the rains do.
