Stopped by this afternoon for a look at low tide around 4:00 p.m.
hundreds of shorebirds....
lots of royal terns; sandwich terns, skimmers, laughing gulls, willets, short billed dowitchers, peeps galore; an occasional osprey and GBH.
I was only able to stick around until 5:30. Other than the GBH, I did not see any larger birds up to that hour. But if you're into shorebirds, you have plenty to keep you busy. The skimmers were all along the sandbars. I am not sure if they will stay there to skim later in the afternoon....but if you're in the area, give it a visit; esp. at low tide.
Hello Nicki,
Bunchee Beach is at the southern end of John Morris Road which is off of Summerlin Road, Fort Myers Beach. Summerlin Road is the road that leads to Sanibel Island.
You need to get hold of A Birder's Guide to Florida published by the American Birding Association and Birding Florida published by Falcon Press.
I think the Birder's Guide is the better of the 2 books.
There are so many great sites you are spolit for choice.
Good luck,
Dave.
