| View from lookout at Weedon Island Preserve |
Jim and Sonia (Snowbirds #3) arrived yesterday afternoon after spending the day at the
Dali Museum and viewing the
Chihuly Collection at the Morean Arts Center. This morning we headed toward the Gandy Bridge to visit
Weedon Island Preserve. The day was warmer than we've experienced so far and even the short loop to the observation tower was a little hot. But so worth the trip! The view was lovely and serene, rather than spectacular.

| Nesting mourning doves |
I heard a noisy woodpecker in a far away tree and loved watching the near shore birds in a shallow lake. It was lovely to see two quiet little mourning doves nesting in the low branches, barely discernible because of effective camouflage. The most exciting sighting was in a distant tree, as a large osprey devoured a big fish. Jim captured a great shot of the bloody repast, which I'm hoping he'll share.
