Wild on Sanibel

Last Weekend of August 2020

August 2020 is coming to a close and we’ll move into September, which is traditionally a very slow month on the island. It is hot, school starts back up, fewer tourists around, and some of the restaurants close for a week or two. And, of course, everyone hopes that no hurricanes will head our way.

The following photos were taken over the last couple of weeks at Ding and on the beach.

The bird below is an immature Great Blue Heron. Not quite as beautiful as a fully grown one with mating plumage. It’s still a striking bird, though!

The bird below is a Tri-Colored Heron.

You can almost always find a Reddish Egret at Ding.

Above is an adult Yellow-Crowned Night Heron and below is a juvenile.

And what would a trip to Ding be without at least one Roseate Spoonbill photo?

Just hanging out with the buds . . .

See ya on the flip side, guys!

Practicing for the Dirty Dancing finale . . . Nailed it!

I spent the morning at the beach with a dear friend last week. I only had my phone with me to capture the beautiful cloud formations.

Just a lizard hanging out on the pool heater.
