A quick trip to Sanibel Island

Roseate Spoonbills, a tricolored heron, a snowy egret, and some ibises.

We made a long weekend trip to Sanibel Island on the gulf coast of Florida, just outside of Ft. Myers. Sanibel is known for sea shells. It also has J.N. Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge, a great spot for birding. The lower photo shows a united nation of birds: An adult and a juvenile Roseate Spoonbill, a tricolored heron, a snowy egret, and some ibises.

Tootie said...: Your bird photos are very nice! You must have been one of those people with the impressive camera equipment, as I rode my bike through the preserve Saturday. :-); February 10, 2009 at 2:05 PM
