Naples, FL ~ Corkscrew Swamp

Ruddy Daggerwing Butterfly

Another high on our list of places to visit was the Corkscrew Swamp.  I have read or heard about it numerous times from my birding friends.  Also one of my target birds for this trip is a Limpkin and they are seen here fairly often.  Easy to find and the roads to it are well marked.  Here we saw a good number of birds, lifer Ruddy Daggerwing Butterfly, turtles, raccoon plus another alligator and snake.

Cabo ~ early morning birding

When leaving the village this morning I saw several of the chipmunks I've been seeing and today I was able to get a pictures of one of them.  They sure are quick little devils.  Then I saw more of the Gilded Flickers (below) that I have seen so many of this week.  This was another life bird for me.
