It has been unseasonably hot this year and beginning the day with the first light is in order, beside - what's not to love to be able to witness the sun rise as a new day begins!
Today's adventure takes place at the southern part of Fort Myers Beach aka CWA, so come along...
 |
| The Black Skimmers can be found there in great numbers as they use this area for their nesting ground. |
 |
| Interestingly enough there is a pair of Black Scoters that did not leave with their peers during migration - so, it's a nice bonus for us. |
 |
| One of many Wilson Plovers spotted along the beach - adults and young ones are seen strolling the beach now. |
 |
| A nice addition to our list was to see 18 Roseate Spoonbills - these seemed to be in a yoga balancing act. |
 |
| One of the three Reddish Egrets seen feeding. |
 |
| Several Marsh Rabbits were along the edges of the beach vegetation munching away while keeping a keen eye on their surroundings. |
 |
| A Young Great Blue Heron - check the plumage and the legs. |
 |
| Elaine was sharing a moment with GBHE |
 |
| Nice little group of Ruddy Turnstone, Snowy Plover and Sanderling. |
 |
| The Least Terns are still nesting. |
 |
| A young version, |
 |
| an adult. |
 |
| A Wilson Plover - check the black nails on those pink toes. |
 |
| A single Oystercatcher - it might have been the only one but its striking look steals the show. |
 |
| A Snowy Plover |
 |
| A gorgeous Black Skimmer preening |
 | |
| I'd say it cleans up pretty good! |
I hope you get a chance to visit this quiet pristine spot and spend some time with those beautiful creatures.
