Fort Myers Beach

I took a quick look at Ft Myers beach before heading off to Lover's Key on the trolley. What a contrast! Lover's Key was all but deserted and I had a wonderful time hiking around the mangrove swamps and photographing shorebirds. Highlight was watching an osprey eating a fish. He didn't gulp it down the way a heron does, but pulled it apart, piece by piece, keeping a sharp eye open all the while. He didn't seem to mind me very much though.

Highly recommend Lover's Key to anyone who loves birds. And the trolley system around Ft Myers is fantastic - easy to get around w/o a car.
