3/7/19 Thursday

Yesterday when we were at Ding Darling, we chatted with a man who told us about a place called Harn's Marsh just north of Fort Myers.  Since the temperature was 46 this morning, we decided we would check it out.

















The pictures today are of a baby sand hill crane, a snowy egret, glossy ibis, coot, adult sand hill crane, baby sand hill crane on a rock (it took him a while, but he did finally figure out how to get down), boat-tailed grackle, a bumper sticker on the car ahead of us on the drive back, anhinga, and a tricolored heron







Things that we saw that we didn't get a good picture of: a bald eagle soaring overhead, a marsh hawk, gallinule, cattle egrets, unnamed ducks - too far away, and we heard the elusive limpkin several times, but I did not get a shot of it.

After lunch, we went to the beach - didn't stay too long as we don't want to get fried.  We are going on another nature walk here shortly and then out to dinner.
