We were out early at 7 for to see the 7:30 sunrise...we drove to the nearby Castaways Marina but was not a good spot to see the sunrise so we headed to DDWR where we got a good view of the sun rising just as we entered the drive.
We continued our drive not seeing many birds but there were a lot of photographers waiting for more white pelicans. Saw several roseate spoonbills. This will be the last trip to DDRW for this trip.
The Ibis were not the only ones looking for a cool spot:
We went to Doc Ford's on Captiva for an early dinner at 5. Of course we started with a dozen fresh oysters on the half shell. Al ordered a new item on the menu- Steak Salad Chimichurri-marinated steak, asparagus, and red onions, over mixed greens tossed in chimichurri vinaigrette and topped with avocado and bleu cheese crumbles with dressing on the side. Very Good! I ordered the appetizer of Calamari and we combined our orders. Very good dinner. Would order this again but the calamari salad is still my favorite item on the menu.
We arrived back at the cottage in time to walk across the street for the sunset.
