Hello everyone,

This week's issue of Birds in the News is now available for you to enjoy. This
issue features an image provided by a reader to share with all of you;

I also include a link to a poem that a reader shared -- inspired by the lovely
image of a male mountain bluebird sent in by Eva Gerdts -- in honor of National
Poetry Month;

Last, but not least, did you know that Kenn Kaufman has just published another
book? Well he did, just in time for mother's day, and I reviewed it here;

I hope you are enjoying the weather in your part of the country as much as I am
enjoying it here!

Hello!
I'll be in Cape Canaveral, FL end of May for the shuttle launch.  So 
Merritt Island NWR will be closed to birding.  Any suggestions on must see 
birding spots nearby?  If the shuttle takes off, I will hopefully get in 
to Merritt Island the day after.
Thanks,
Kerry Gross

What would a birding trip be without a visit to a sewage treatment plant 
;-)?  The Viera Wetlands are a great place to bird and not too far from 
Cape Canaveral.  I had a great view of American Bittern there and my 
first Limpkin.  Lots of birds and great viewing.
