Hello all:
Recently I visited Sarasota, Florida, during a 9 day trip South. Freedom the Parrot and I visited Lido Key Beach, having no idea it was a protected beach for nesting Black Skimmers and Least Terns. What a sensational 2 hour visit, 7-9 pm, chatting with locals and visitors about the various sized shorebirds and their offspring. I have never seen any bird nesting on a beach, so it was a real treat! To top it off, birds started flying around during the sunset! Below are a few favorite videos.
