Biking Birders


I haven't yet decided if Bo and I are Biking Birders or Birding Bikers. Today we cycled through the Darling National Wildlife Refuge on Sanibel Island with binoculars at the ready. As we cycled through the Mangrove Swamp, we saw the usual bird suspects...shore birds, herons, egrets, plus a new egret for us..the reddish egret. Alligators and snakes were also in evidence. We were surprised to discover crabs that climb trees! Figure that!
Another highlight of the day was dining on Stone Crab claws...yummy!

  2. Hey Bo's! I went online and took a virtual tour of Edison's Seminole Lodge. What a place! It's interesting to imagine Edison and Ford being next-door neighbors in the early 1900's. Did they drink mint-juleps or were they teatotalers? Hmmm, given all the inventions they came up with, they probably consumed something invigorating!
