We visited both Sanibel and Captiva Islands today, the two low lying islands being connected by a short causeway. Sanibel is home to the Ding Darling Nature Reserve, where a wide variety of birds can be seen due to the abundance of fish and mollusks found in the shallow flats, the main source of food for most of the birds in this area. We saw a great variety, both indigenous and migratory northern birds who spend the winter in the south. We drove through the Reserve in the morning, had lunch on Captiva Island, and returned to the Reserve in the afternoon for a tour with a well informed ranger from the Park Service.
