Lovers Key and Fort Myers Beach

We travelled on a wet and windy morning from Fort Myers to Fort Myers Beach, a mere 15 miles. We drove the length of the Island and at Lovers Key we found a bird scratching around under the Mangroves, a lone Common Ground Dove, not that common as it was the only one around. Apart from the usual circling Vultures, calling Ospreys and Brown Pelicans we had a poor morning for birds.
Once we had unpacked at our new home we walked along the shoreline and as the sun started to go down we saw a resting Mourning Dove and more than thirty Willet untroubled by people.
