On Sunday morning we left Pine Island and drove to Bonita Springs to visit Don and Gwen in their beautiful new Florida home. On the way, we stopped on the tiny island of Matlace, home to many colorful antique and curiosity shops. We had a great couple of days with Don and Gwenn, including a beautiful sunny afternoon at Bonita Beach where several varieties of birds patrolled the skies and surf, dolphins were visible just offshore and fishermen and jet ski enthusiasts enjoyed their pastimes.

Got 'em! The Pelican flips the fish over in his large bill

The Pelican instinctively flips the fish over in his large bill so that his prey slides down his gullet head first. If the fish were to be swallowed tail first the bird's throat and innards would be damaged by the fishes scales.
