Where are the birds in SW Florida? I'm here but not great luck so far.
If this is in the wrong forum, please move as appropriate.
I'm staying at a hotel in Fort Myers near the Fort Myers International Airport.
So far, I've been here three days, and have gone to Ding Darling twice. There were no birds, at least not any in range. Or this morning, they were all on the wrong side of the road, and I would have been forced to shoot directly into the sun. Yesterday, I went to the Venice Rookery, and had pretty good luck there. I got quite a few good to great flight shots, and lots of courting & nesting behavior and baby chicks.
I am considering going back to Venice early tomorrow morning, and going from there on to Myakka River State Park. Can anyone give me advice on what to see and where to go mid-morning and afternoon? I've not been there before, and am clueless about the place. I am hoping there will be good opportunities for bird photography, or at least that there will be more birds than photographers or fishermen.
I'll be here through next Thursday too and any other suggestions for places to go are welcome. What's the best way to get to Little Estero? I've heard that finding an appropriate place to park can be problematic.
Thanks!
