LoL and that's a good reason for being there! I don't blame you. Ft. Myers is beautiful and I wish we had gone down more often before we sold my grandmothers house in N. Ft. Myers. I do plan on visiting again one day and once more enjoying the area. My last few visits were rather hectic and packed with loading and moving.

Enjoy your explorations. I know I can't wait to see more of your pictures and thanks for the compliments on the backyard. Any time you and Roger are ready to pit stop in SC keep that yard in mind...Egrets and Herons and Hawks Oh My! You don't even have to leave the backyard!

We followed directions in Bill Pranty's book,Amazon.com: A Birder's Guide to Florida (9781878788245): Bill Pranty: Books, and were rewarded with finding these Monk Parakeets on light pole structures and fencing at a ball field in Cape Coral!

Adorable little parrots, Sage! I saw them on several occasions while visiting Ft. Lauderdale. So many people complain, saying they are noisy, but I thought they were so cute!

Wonderful Fl photos! You make me want to book a trip down there ASAP! My mom and MIL both have homes down there....Punta Gorda and Naples. I love to bird at Cork Screw Sanctuary.
The Red Shouldered Hawk (page 16) is a Juvenile, he is most likely screaming for mom to feed him! |

I wondered what that thing was on the bill of this White Pelican. My research found this answer in BNA
