No longer an American company

Well, I'm exhausted after canoing the Weeki Waachi river today and seeing manatees in the wild - very cool! Just a quick post to say that they need to change the sign at the Hospitality Suite at Busch Gardens in Tampa....I'm afraid it doesn't apply any more :-(
My brother-in-law and I still enjoyed the 2 free beers they gave us!
The bird gardens were spectacular, and I could've watched the flamingos all day. I also made a new primate friend, while my nephew made a new feathered friend!

Birds of Sanibel

Sanibel Island really is a little slice of paradise, and if you're a birder (or bird watcher) it's even more so. We took the auto road through the Ding Darling Wildlife Refuge and saw some great birds. The highlight for me, personally, was seeing 27 roseate spoonbills up the trees looking at us across the water. It was like something from a dream. Here are a few shots of birds that we saw on the island. The red shouldered hawk came swooping down right next to our car to grab a tasty crab for lunch! We appreciated the view.
