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 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 […]

POLL: Should the Reddish Egret’s habitat be protected?

June 24, 2018February 18, 2021 Supertrooper 2 Comments

Hurricane season is again upon us, with storms threatening communities, homes, and wildlife habitat in their path. As communities recover in the wake of these storms and floods, we must implement common-sense policies to help rebuild a more nature-based, resilient landscape to better protect people and wildlife like the reddish egret. The good news is, […]

Florida June Flashbacks: 2011- 2015

June 13, 2016December 23, 2019 Bob Pelkey 1 Comment

With plenty of indoor time available due to Tropical Storm Colin and a persistent stormy weather pattern this past week in Southwest Florida, I made flashbacks of June visits to five different wildlife venues going back to 2011.         The Ruddy Turnstone above (image 1) was photographed at Little Estero Lagoon in […]

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 […]

Little Estero Lagoon Spring Nesting

June 1, 2016December 23, 2019 Bob Pelkey Leave a comment

An early May visit to Little Estero Lagoon south of Fort Myers Beach was very rewarding with a walk of the beach beginning at the Wyndham Garden Hotel. The north lagoon was active with wading birds like I had never seen before at this location. There was a feeding frenzy underway the likes of which […]

Fort De Soto Park Spring Migration: Pt II

May 12, 2016December 23, 2019 Bob Pelkey 1 Comment

Warbler activity is not confined to the food bearing vegetation in the southern region of Fort De Soto Park.           The Scarlet Tanager above (image 1) was photographed at Fort De Soto Park in April 2016. After a near full morning of birding the bottom half of Mullet Key, Tom Obrock […]

Bunche Beach Preserve: Sunrise West End

April 21, 2016December 23, 2019 Bob Pelkey Leave a comment

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 […]
