I was able to get really close to a Reddish Egret near the Lighthouse Fishing Pier today.  I had a hard time deciding that's what this bird was because the beak should not be all black.  So, I think this must be a young one.  I couldn't choose a favorite pic, so I'm just going to post a bunch of them!  Then, we took a walk on the beach where we saw more shells than we have seen in a while.  I caught a pic of a Red Shouldered Hawk in a tree across the street this morning, too.  It is a beautiful day to be on Sanibel Island!
