Sanibel Island is a lovely island in the Gulf of Mexico, just off the mainland of the city of Fort Myers, Florida. It’s pristine and will remain that way due to very strict building and conservation regulations. The Ding Darling Bird Refuge is on Sanibel too and brings in the lovely tropical and beach birds from all over the region. We took a walk on the main beach, visited the Lighthouse and the Pier, and took video and photos of the birds, including an Osprey Nest with a baby.

My next post will be our last from Florida, as we head back to the French Alps in the dead of winter. What a difference that will be!
