Florida's "Space Coast Birding and Wildlife Festival" January 23-29, 2013

Florida's "Space Coast Birding and Wildlife Festival" starts this Wednesday in Titusville, Florida. Its one of the largest such shows in the U.S. With some luck attendees will spot the most colorful songbird in all of North America, the Painted Bunting, wintering in the Space Coast of Florida. Generally holding in dense thickets of oaks and scrub they are very hard to spot in the wild away from backyard feeders.
