Northern Rough-winged Swallow
Cliff Swallow
Barn Swallows, all were migrating today in Sanibel
Just got back from the Sanibel Lighthouse where migrating Cliff, Barn and Northern Rough-winged Swallows were flying by. Strong WSW winds were keeping them low. I was lucky to get some photos even though it was tricky shooting conditions of cloudy skies, wind and they are erratic flyers. What beautiful birds!!!
Migration conditions are improving and I look forward to seeing more neotropical migrants here in the next several days. I will keep posting photos and updating you, these birds will be headed your way!

Such a nice comment from a reader,
Dear Lillian,
Thank you so much for writing your blog! We enjoy your informative Ding lectures and your photography continues to inspire us. After seeing your Gannet photos, we could be found at Blind Pass the next day enjoying the sights, and we journeyed off to Corkscrew Swamp again after seeing your Barred Owl shots and had a memorable birding experience. And of course today where will we be--Lighthouse Point! Thanks, Lillian and Don, for keeping us engaged with the wonders of nature!
Sincerely, Janet and Aaron Kirk
