Checked out the Wildlife Drive at Ding Darling NWR on Sanibel this morning. Arrived for today's low tide. Mostly I was interested in any interesting waterfowl. I was only able to spot a single Pied-billed Grebe and no red-breasted mergansers. Did have about four dozen Blue-winged Teal, a pair of Northern Shovelers and several Mottled Ducks. With the low tide, the expected shorebirds were seen including Willets, Short-billed Dowitchers, Least Sandpipers, Sanderlings, Dunlins and Black-bellied Plovers. Lots of American White Pelicans, Cormorants and wading birds
