| Looking for dinner |
Although we often drive through Black Point, we like to try other roads in the Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge. One such road is Biolab which borders the Indian River Lagoon. It’s a change of pace from Black Point with views over the water of the Lagoon. There’s not many birds out yet, they will arrive later with the cooler weather.

We did see an osprey out and about looking for its dinner from a perch on the upper-most branch of a dead tree. He was patiently waiting for something to appear, I guess, so I took a photo. I was hoping for an eagle but none were in sight.
It’s a pretty drive with the beach by the lagoon and mangroves trying to extend the reach of land into the water. With temps in the 70s every day and lows in the 60s, it’s not hard to take down here.
