Some interesting birds are around this month. A smooth-billed Ani has been reported on Sanibel Island and Pine Siskins are being spotted as well. But were diffidently seeing far fewer waterfowl and other wintering birds seen on the water. Like loons and horned grebes. Suspect the our recent problem with red tide may have had a negative effect.
Have prepped a gallery of some of my sightings in the past month.
