BALD EAGLE


There are several great birding areas in Southwest Florida. Sanibel Island offers one of the best for several species of wading birds, shore birds and others. They have natural areas, large refuges , and miles of beachfront. One area we have visited in the last three years is the Dairy Queen parking lot and not just for the oreo blizzards. From the west side, it is easy to view an Eagle's nest with two adult birds and, if your lucky, two babies. A dead tree just west of the parking lot is a favorite spot for them to perch. I set up my long lens this morning and was lucky enough to capture the picture shown.
