We drove from Fort Lauderdale to Tampa/St Petersburg this week to meet friends and enjoy the beach.
It’s about a four hour drive with a lot of great road side viewing of birds the cattle and great egrets (countless) always standout. A highlight was two swallow tail kites on the west end of alligator alley.
On the I275 between Tampa and St Pete I counted 19 Osprey on the way over (10 mike stretch ) Today that was topped with 26! There were also pelicans and cormorants perched along the light posts across the stretch.
The beach had many sightings including a first for me, which was a pair of black skimmers. Other sightings included gulls, ibis, least tern, frigate, and great blue heron.
