Indian Creek, Bunche Beach and Ft. Myers Beach, FL

 

We continue our stay at Indian Creek Resort and still are finding many birds all around us.  This Wood Stork flew in close and tried to balance on the tip top of the Monkeypuzzle tree in a strong wind.  It was quite a show.

Enough tree top teetering, I'm leaving.
