More Life in Lockdown

Hi All,

Though we are staying close to home, we do get out for a walk nearly every day.

Here is a little blue heron. The juveniles are white then they molt to dark blue. This one is part way

This curious plant is called painted leaf. The actual flower is tiny and green so the plant has evolved orange leave parts around the flower to attract pollinators.

This is a killdeer. We think she is feigning injury to lead predators away from the nest.

Most of the year, the tri-color heron has a gray bill. Look what happens in breeding season!

Sea turtles begin nesting on Sanibel beaches in April. Volunteer turtle watchers have reported over 40 nests already. 

Osprey brought his lunch to this pole to eat.

If you ever wondered about the risks of reopening the country too soon, here it is. If we continue current control measures, we get the dotted red line. If we don't, the current 2,000 deaths per day could continue well into June.

We are doing OK, although Sandy's 86 year old uncle Erwin died this week from Covid19. 

Please stay safe and stay home.

Love,

Sandy & Carl
