This weekend, however, I needed to take my mind off all those gaudy birds Corey was scoping down at the Space Coast Birding and Wildlife Festival. The bad news was that it had flown away right before we arrived, but the good news is that it hadn’t traveled far. What was your best bird of the weekend?
