We got our sunny day at Zellwood and as they were working on the Lust Rd. area of the farm Harold took us into new territory as well as Clay Island. The no show Florida Scrub Jays were out today and eager to land on heads and hands for those peanuts, ending the day with a smile on all our faces. Our bird count today totaled 55 seen and 3 heard. Zellwood, always a great place to bird.
