Birding Trip



Tuesday we went to Ft. Myers birding. First, I dragged Al to Estero Beach Lagoon located behind the Holiday Inn beyond Ft Myers Beach but only saw a few egrets and herons.....no skimmers or terns as expected.

We then went to Six Mile Slough (hot birding spot) where we had a picnic lunch before walking the boardwalk. Was a fairly uneventful birding walk but we enjoyed....saw great blue, cormorants, turtles on the platforms in water at entrance. We did see anhingas, ibis, green heron, alligator,mergansers and more turtles at Otter Pond. Spotted a yellow warbler in tree as we were getting in the car to leave.

Stopped at the Lighthouse Restaurant for drinks and calamri appetizer at their bar. Nice view of the marina and boats. Was nice ending to our day trip.
