Bonita Springs, FL ~ Lover's Key State Park

After we arrived on Monday we came over to Lover's Key because it is nearby and the day was getting short.  Turned out we only had about 15 minutes until the park closed so we decided a return trip was in order.  So this morning over we came to the park.  We stopped first at the bay side of the park.  Here we saw Palm Warblers feeding, Blue Jays and Mourning Doves.  Down on the beach feeding on the flats were Snowy Egrets, Yellow-crowned Night Herons, American Oystercatcher, Dowitchers and peeps.  For butterflies I saw a Mangrove Skipper which was a life butterfly for me.

CA ~ Relaxing at Palm Desert ~ Desert Willow Resort

Great Egret

Relaxing for me is to get up and go out walking looking for birds in the early morning  Club Intrawest has lots of good areas to walk around their grounds and see more of my old friends. This morining I saw Pied-billed Grebe's, Great and Snowy Egrets, White-faced Ibis, Verdin's, House Finches, and lots of  Anna's and Costa's Hummingbirds.
