I brought 2 bagels today but the gulls went crazy as soon as they saw me; these fellas are definitely not bird brained. I ran out of bagels almost instantly and fed them tootsie rolls that my daughter had tossed in my bag. I don't think they had tootsie rolls before since they followed me along the beach until we left.
Another beach location.
We went to Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge. I have camera envy after seeing the lenses that the bird photographers have. Osprey are everywhere. Almost every tall pole has a nesting platform that volunteers take care of.
The Anhinga love to sit with their wings spread, warming themselves in the sun. I read they stab fish with their long, sharp beaks.
The White Ibis seem to be standing in every fresh water source. They are huge and as plentiful as ducks are here.
This was our favorite meal out; the ambiance was fun and I loved trying alligator.
Bryce liked the Polo style shirt, I was a fan of the tag. The hole had a grommet which I removed since it was so darn thick to leave inside a sketchbook.
The last day we went to Lovers Key Beach, Bonita Springs, Naples, the Everglades and our favorite part, Alligator Alley. We saw a lot of wild alligators which was awesome. To get to Alligator Alley we drove through a Panther Reserve with very high fences but we didn't see any Panthers. We drove a lot the last day since almost everything was closed.
The only restaurants we found open were some fast food places and Perkins. I know there must be some others but they hid well; I think I know why the airport food court was packed.
