For the first time in two weeks we have rain, actually severe thunder storms, to start out the morning. Thus birding is out and it is time for a “moving recap” of my expeditions down here in Fort Myers. eMail subscribers will have to click on “video link” to watch any movie. Thus, let’s get on with the show!

How many of you remember “Sunday Night at the Movies”?! This TV staple existed before there was Netflix, Hulu, or even Blockbuster Videos. Yes, there was actually a time in America when the family would gather around the television, and watch whatever the television networks offered. In Duluth, we only had two TV channels while I was growing up. ABC was not an option. Our market was too small. Enjoy!

Remember … the Burrowing Owls and Monk Parakeets of Cape Coral appeared on film in a prior post. Tomorrow morning early we set off back north via Bald Point State Park in the Florida Panhandle where I will search for the immortal bird, the Brown Headed Nuthatch (would be a lifer for me). This park also is known for American Oystercatchers, which are always a treat for me to watch.
