Tropical Storm Hermine At Bunche Beach: Pt. II

Tropical Storm Hermine At Bunche Beach: Pt. II

September 17, 2018December 23, 2019 Bob Pelkey Leave a comment

With less than favorable conditions for photography of the wildlife at Bunche Beach, it seemed obvious that the birds were not airborne unless disturbed. I opted to remain at one observation point about a quarter mile east of the parking area where a good sized flock of shorebirds were actively feeding. The mangrove trees offered […]

Whimbrel At Carlos Pointe: Part II

Whimbrel At Carlos Pointe: Part II

August 29, 2018December 23, 2019 Bob Pelkey 1 Comment

The Whimbrel that had been reported daily at Carlos Pointe for nearly a week prior to my visit was of course not guaranteed to be there. The Whimbrel was difficult to identify as it was found to be loafing with its bill hidden in its right wing while surrounded by Marbled Godwits and Willets. The […]

Whimbrel At Carlos Pointe: Part I

August 25, 2018December 23, 2019 Bob Pelkey 1 Comment

Although there was a very welcome breeze at dawn on the morning of 11 August, I was not prepared to walk miles from Carlos Pointe at Big Carlos Pass along Little Estero Lagoon with the temperature already at 78 degrees. The primary purpose of my visit to the freshwater pool at Carlos Pointe was to […]

Brrrrrrrr! But a Lesser Yellowlegs

Brrrrrrrr! But a Lesser Yellowlegs

May 3, 2017December 23, 2019 Laura Erickson 1 Comment

What a frigid morning! But if we were cold, the birds seemed even colder. We had something of a fall-out at Park Point—I’m sure our numbers for most of the songbirds are way lower than the actual numbers. We had a couple of Lesser Yellowlegs (the most we saw as a group was one, but […]

Little Estero Lagoon Spring Nesting

Little Estero Lagoon Spring Nesting

June 5, 2016December 23, 2019 Bob Pelkey Leave a comment

For good reason Little Estero Lagoon comes in a close second as a favorite Southwest Florida wildlife venue behind Bunche Beach Preserve. The birds were very accommodating as I continued my walk south toward Carlos Point and back. The Black Scoter was an especially nice find with their behavior “ridiculously tame” as world wildlife photographer […]

Recent days, weeks, and months have offered great birding possibilities at Bunche Beach Preserve in South Fort Myers.           The Reddish Egret with prey above (image 1) was photographed at Bunche Beach Preserve in April 2016. An early April visit to Bunche followed my January visit when an American Flamingo was […]

Marbled Godwit at Seal Rock Beach

Marbled Godwit at Seal Rock Beach

December 21, 2015December 23, 2019 Larry Jordan Leave a comment

I recently spent some time watching birds on the beach near Seal Rock below the Cliff House in San Francisco. This Marbled Godwit (Limosa fedoa) was one of the many shorebird species I observed. Check out my latest West Coast Beat Writer post over at 10000 Birds to see all the avifauna I encountered.   […]

Reddish Egret at Fort De Soto

Reddish Egret at Fort De Soto

July 26, 2014December 23, 2019 Scott Simmons Leave a comment

Last week my wife decided it might be fun to go to the beach on the Gulf coast (calmer waves), and she asked me if there was a good place there go visit. Fort De Soto, of course! So yesterday we spent the day there. My father and I got there early to do some […]
