Thursday April 19th
Headed over to the Sanibel Lighthouse to look for any migrants. But no migrants were on-hand today. Just the usual Ospreys, Starlings, Fish Crows, Eurasian Collared Doves and Brown pelicans. Did see a Magnificent Frighetbird while crossing the Sanibel Causeway.

Found Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge to be very quite as well. With a high tide, waders and shore birds were scarse. Got a few pics of
Willets and
Red-breasted Mergansers. The only songbirds I saw were
Northern Cardinals, a
Pileated Woodpecker and
Mourning Doves. Kept a look-out for any mangrove cuckoos or black-whiskered vireos that might be active near the wildlife drive. An articule in the local paper reported on a year long survey being conducted at Ding Darling on the
mangrove cuckoo.
