Ding Darling Wildlife Sanctuary, Florida, Dec 2009

The Ding Darling Wildlife Sanctuary on Florida’s Captiva Island is host to 1000′s of species of endangered animals, habitat, birds, and insects. A truley magical place.

The best time to visit the park is when the tides are changing as the water birds come out to feed in the open flats. It’s a great place, just watch for alligators at the end of the park!

There are always nesting Ospreys and now there are a pair of Bald Eagles as permanent residents. On this day I was lucky enough to see some lovely Roseate Spoonbills.
