Springtime and Access

Sunday May 3rd

Gray Kingbirds have returned 

to summer and nest in Florida

Our local and state governments are slowly re-opening access to public places in actions to try to return some normalcy.  Here in Southwest Florida access to beaches and preserves have severally restricted during the height of the Spring Migration.  Very frustrating to those of us who enjoying our birding hobbies. For awhile I had some interesting activity around the feeders and fruiting ficus in my yard. But the not the activity that our spring migration hot spots offer.

So just in the past few days access has been opening up.  Places like Rotary Park in Cape Coral and Pinecraft Park in Sarasota are offering some birding activity.
