Fort Myers Area Birds Of Prey: Early 2011

This week's blog is again not the regular update I wish to convey with "current events" typically the norm. Images seen below are a revisit of observations made in the first few months of 2011. It will hopefully be a long while before I give a mid 2011 report. In any event, I hope you find interest here. Press on an image below for a slideshow that offers a better appreciation of the wildlife seen.
