Insider Advice for Florida Tour?

[Chuck Nakell]

We are making a first timer's, self-guided loop round the Florida coast February 2nd thru the 16th.
We will go from St. Pete
to Sanibel
to Venice
to Naples
to Florida City (Everglades)
to Delray Beach area
to Merritt Island and end in Sarasota (for some nonbiridng activities).
Beyond hitting the usual known hotspots (Ding Darling, Corkscrew, et) where might we head to see spoonbills, owls and wood storks?
Any suggestions are most welcome.

Thanks Much, Chuck
