It took some traveling to put together the March gallery. The first trip was to Little Estero Lagoon just off Ft. Myers Beach. There I was able to photograph the American Oystercatcher and the Reddish Egret, both of which are appearing in the gallery for the first time. At Little Estero Lagoon, I found a small Mangrove Salt Marsh Snake. This non-venomous water snake was a treat as I have never seen one in the wild before. After several pictures, he was set free and continued about his business.The following weekend it was off to Osceola County and Joe Overstreet Landing. Meadowlarks and Sandhill Cranes were abundant in this area. There were also a couple Crested Caracara and many Bald Eagles. Unfortunately the Eagles were not very cooperative and I have few shots of them. Also speaking of non-cooperative birds, I managed to see my FOS (first of the season) Swallow-tailed Kite there.
Enjoy the images in the March gallery.
