Best time to go

[TomP]

What is the best month/week to go to Merrit??

Tom,
My experience is from now through February should be good. If you go that way be sure to check out Viera Wetlands at which I've had much better luck.

I'll be there on Wednesday! I too have had better luck at Viera, but both are somewhat hit or miss. I'll be posting updates here:

Thanks folks, not sure I can make it, just wishing. Is there somewhere central, and inexpensive to stay around there?

 

[StL_Don]

I stay at the somewhat dumpy Super-8 or similar around I-95 and FL 50 / Cheney Highway. Usually around $45-50 / night. Just back on 50 from 95 is a water treatment / reserve that sometimes has some boids.

That intersection is about half way from either Viera or Merritt.

I'll be coming to Cocoa on Wednesday, if anyone wants to meet up. Spending 5 days there.
