Wild on Sanibel

Hot Summer Day

The little Black-Necked Stilt chicks at the Bailey Tract are growing. They are so cute. It takes a little more effort to find wildlife on these hot summer days. I caught some pretty good reflections in the still water.

We saw this juvenile Yellow-Crowned Night Heron on the drive through Ding. It was a quiet morning on Wildlife Drive yesterday.

Love this look . . .

This guy was in our yard this afternoon. He was only about 3 feet long and wasn’t the least bit afraid of me, which allowed me to get closer than I really wanted!

The wildlife cam in our backyard caught a series of photos of an ibis following a fairly big green iguana while trying to get his tail, as if he thought it were a snake. For fun, I stitched the photos together in reverse order so that it looks like the Ibis is pulling the Iguana backwards.
