Sunday August 14th
Recently stopped by Bowditch Point Park on Fort Myers Beach. Not many pelicans, gulls or terns were present. Had heard from Dave McQuade about a recent pelagic trip out into the Gulf where they had found absolutely zero pelagic birds, aside from frigatebirds. May mean that their food source has become scarce.
