That’s a wrap for our team at the #publiclandsalliance 2026 convention in Florida! Chuck (in hat) just texted that Team HHPA‘s last day in Florida was spent at an amazing PLA-sponsored excursion to Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge with critters galore. 🐊

I hope you are as awed as I was when I came across this incredible communal gathering! Honestly, pictures don’t even do it justice.

From a March morning nearly a decade ago when there were days the birds were countless in number across Merritt Island NWR, before rocket launches became oh-so frequent.

Dozens of egrets, ibis, herons, and spoonbills in and around a pool of water in Florida’s Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge.
Over 10 years later I am still overwhelmed by the sheer number of beautiful #birds all in one place. It was such an incredible sight to see! #MerrittIslandNWR

Reddish egret landing in water.
Reddish egret standing in water holding a fish it caught.
National wildlife refuges and state parks are so important. I try and visit as many as possible. This reddish egret was playing in the waters of Merritt Island NWR in Florida. Protecting waters, and national wildlife refuges are incredibly important right now. #merrittislandnwr #nationalparks #egret
