I'm visiting Orlando for a short family holiday in the last week of May. As time will be limited, most of our holiday will be spent visiting sites as a family, but I will probably get one or two mornings on my own to do some birding.
I've been to Florida a few times, the last being in August 2008, but have never visited in May before. I'm hoping therefore to catch some new species.
With probably only a few trips out, I'd be grateful if anyone could give me some suggestions of places close to Orlando that would give me the highest bird count, whilst maximising my chances of new species that I would have missed during my August visit. If you had to suggest only 2 hot-spots to visit at this time of year, which would they be? I'm especially interested in photography, so sites offering good photo opportunities are especially welcome.
Thanks in advance for your help.
