Heron

My husband and I drove from Naples to Sanibel Island today.  Once there we visited the Shell Museum and had a wonderful lunch at a small, but busy, cafe. While we were waiting to be seated I ran into a clothing shop next door and bought a soft, warm, sweatshirt.  Fleece never felt so good.  I have been cold for a few days, not having packed appropriately for 49 degree temperatures in Florida.  After lunch we drove the wildlife loop, stopping the car periodically to get a shot.  I was told by a birder that this is a Yellow-crowned Night Heron.  We couldn't stay as long as I would have liked because we had a dinner reservation at a highly-recommended Persian restaurant back in Naples. I have to say, it was worth the early departure.
Thanks for visiting my journal and all of your positive reinforcement!
