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.

Mangrove Tree Crab

Aratus pisonii, commonly known as the mangrove tree crab, is a species of crab which lives in mangrove trees in tropical and subtropical parts of the Americas, from Florida to Brazil on the Atlantic coast, and from Nicaragua to Peru on the Pacific coast. It feeds mostly on the leaves of the mangroves, but is an omnivore, and prefers animal matter when possible.
