Bright and early - that's my middle name. I arrived at the Sanibel Garden Preserves with the hopes of finding the Swallow-tailed Kites perched on the snags but instead found many others that had eluded me in the past.
 |
| I had a feeling that it was going to be a great day - how could it not with such beautiful vistas! |
 |
| Ha! Surprised to see this Yellow-crowned Night heron here. |
 |
| As I proceeded down toward the tower, I came upon this little pond with Great Egrets all around the edges - as if a meeting was taking place and I was intruding.....I continued on my way. |
 |
| The Killdeer was ever watchful and vocal when he flew. |
 |
| The Great Blue Heron and the Black-crowned Night Heron shared the pond...lots of room to go around, Little Blue herons, White Ibis of different ages and Anhinga were also enjoying the area. |
 |
| The Marsh Rabbits stayed by the entrance and watched me as I made my way back. |
 |
| This was the first time that I saw so many Black-crowned Night Herons at the Sanibel Garden Preserves. |
 |
| A singing Cardinal lead the way. |
 |
| A pair of vigilant Great Crested Flycatchers, also quite vocal.... |
 |
| Sometimes too fast for me to capture their image. |
 |
| Good bye said one of many Red-bellied Woodpecker. My E-bird List for this morning's venture http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S18118924 |
