SUMMARY:27th Annual Space Coast Birding & Wildlife Festival
DESCRIPTION:Florida is rich in native populations of wildlife and birds\, but it is also on a busy route for migrating birds stopping over for the winter.\n\n\n\nFlorida’s Space Coast – home to Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge\, Canaveral National Seashore\, and Kennedy Space Center\, is one of the best birding locations in the United States because it is situated at the convergence of two zones — temperate and subtropical — creating a natural diversity of unique habitats that attract varied bird species. \nFor a crash course on Florida’s wildlife\, this Festival is ideal for all ages\, from beginners to veterans. \nRadisson Resort at the Port Cape Canaveral\, Florida \nMore Info
