\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Pied-billed Grebe: Blackpoint Wildlife Drive, Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, Titusville, Florida, USA, January 2024 \u2014 I noticed that the walking trail out to the tower and the duck blind half way between the entrance and the rest stop on Blackpoint Drive has changed names in the time I was absent from Florida in January, but it is the same trail, same tower, and same blind. The channel along the left going in is always a good spot for Pied-billed Grebe portraits. The birds are close and not much bothered by the people passing by on foot. OM Systems OM-1 with ED 100-400mm IS zoom at 800mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications.
