Travels With Maggie
If you want to see wood storks, Pine Island is the place to go. One of these, perhaps the same one, sat in the top of the tree that help shade my RV from the Florida sun. -- Photo by Pat Bean
I spent a month on Pine Island, exploring such nearby places as the west side of the Everglades, Audubon’s Corkscrew Sanctuary and Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge, which were all wonderful places.
But if I wanted to see birds, which of course I always want to do, all I had to do was look out my RV window.
I was especially fond of the word storks that haunted the Dumpster area of the large RV park where I stayed. The also visited me and Maggie at our RV site.

Love that quote and that picture!
Love your stork. Thanks for your insight. Always inspired me.
I love Pine Island!! Haven’t been there for a couple of years. You may have inspired me to take a trip once the tourists have gone home. Another favorite place down that way is the Edison house in Ft. Myers. He was the Bill Gates of his time.
Hi,
Great photo, and a good quote as well. 🙂
Ah Pine Island..what a wonderful and unknown place ! Did you make it to the islands around there?
I didn’t, re making it to other islands, but did enjoy the nearby mainland while I was there. Thanks for commenting/

Waaaaaah! That bird!
My mum’s boyfriend (british) used to love coming to Kenya with his binoculars to look at all the birds!
You sound like you have a good time visiting all these places…I follow through your eyes!
I do have fun. Thanks for coming along on my journey.
