Wonderful shore birds

Fort Myers Beach -south end and Sanibel Island are world renown for "bird watching" Lew and I just got some great pictures of the Rosettes on the south end of Fort Myers Beach- south of the Holiday Inn where they nest each evening in their own lagoon. Several species are year around, others migrate there, nest and have their young- you will see those areas blocked off for protection along with the sea turtles thru November.
