Sunrise, 7:18
I had toast and an egg, than headed to 1B to make a sandwich. And take a few more balcony photos.
In the Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge, just after 9 am
Male hooded merganser
It is called Wildlife Drive for a reason. I was on the water at 9:55.
Tidal flow through one of the gaps in Wildlife Drive
I let it push me into the "lakes"
Through a pass, into Pine Island Sound.
Spoonbill
Snowy egrets and ibis
I was now in the narrow inlet where I saw a manatee, Saturday. The inlet splits into two branches.
Driving, or biking out of the Refuge, this bridge is on your right.
Osprey
Strutting snowy
Cormorant
Bald eagle
Helps explain all the osprey. AKA, "fishhawk"
Young eagle
Spanish mackerel?
Landed at 2:20. Talk around the pool Saturday was about catching the Packer game at Doc Ford's. I stopped in. No familiar faces. Not even Tomlinson. Checked the parking lot at Timbers. Did not see brother Pat's rental van. Should have gone to the Lazy Flamingo. Instead, back to the pool. Updated by Karen B's cell phone.

This is how dinner looked on December 10. Photo by Evan. Who caught the blackfin tuna with brother Arlo and friends Jack and Chris. Quickly frozen to take some to Sanibel
On the grill with vegetables from the Sanibel farmers market. Plenty food for over 20 people. The best fish I have ever had. My nephews said they brought about one eighth of the day's catch.

How do you top off a perfect day?
Jack, age 11, said this was the first time he won at solitaire.
