Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge

I drove out to Titusville today to go to the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge with Colby. I made a couple stops on the way to get two letterbox stamps, one of which was a really neat jungle scene, and the other one I was the first to find it with a new log book so I have a little certificate that says first finder.
At the reserve we drove down Black Point Wildlife Drive which is a 7 mile gravel road that has spots that you can stop to check out animals. We saw tons of birds including great blue herons, little blue herons, Louisiana herons (aka tri-colored herons, roseate spoonbills, reddish egret (I think), snowy egrets, brown pelicans, turkey vultures, red-winged blackbirds, mourning doves, and probably lots of other things that I had no idea what they were. On the way out of the reserve Colby spotted two medium sized alligators and then we drove to a manatee signing location. We had to wait for a little while but eventually a manatee swam up right alongside the bank we were sitting at. I was super excited to watch the manatee; unfortunately, it was too dark for me to get any good pictures.
For dinner we stopped at the Waffle House (my first time) and I got free hash browns.
