Shearwaters and Northern Fulmars.....
The Seawatch Report for 2018 for Tom Renick Park is available on this website. Click Here. Harry Robinson has compiled an impressive record of the birds that are seen from this beachside park, both from landside and over the ocean. Harry welcomes company while observing. Bring your scope to follow along as the birds can move very fast. It's like a pelagic trip without the swells.
In addition to Ormond Beach, Harry has joined with Kim Ramos and Sam Krah on Tuesday afternoons at Dunlawton Bridge. Together they have compiled their observations into a concise spreadsheet that is available now on the website. They meet late in the afternoon around 4 pm in the summer.
Harry has published the final volume of his extensive studies of the Lake Apopka Restoration Area in Zellwood. This work provides an overview of 19 years of observations at the site. The complete series of reports for the Restoration area and for Audubon Park are archived here on the website.
