Day 18 Captiva

After early coffee with Al,  I headed to the beach for a walk around 9:30 and found several brown pelicans were still there along with hungry gulls.







Cormorant talking to the pelican: "You're a big bird!"

For breakfast we had poached eggs, bacon, biscuits and grapefruit. We spent from 11:30-2:30 at the pool and kept eye on the eagles' nest:

We went out to the beach but it was too hot to stay long.  We saw a small group of willets on the shore and mixed in were 4 Marbled Godwits:



The pelicans were still flying about.  Love when they soar across the sky in formation:
The Thriller tour boat passed by at 3:00:

Dinner tonight at the Timbers.....we called ahead when we left at 5:30....no wait for a table at this time of day.  We shared a dozen gulf oysters on the half shell.  Al ordered Florida Lobster tail with drawn butter, served with salad, sweet potato and asparagus.   I had Mango Snapper (one of the fresh fish of the day) served with lemon butter, clam chowder, rice pilaf and asparagus.  Great honey bread served with our great dinners! We bought fresh mussels at the fish market on the way out.... for tomorrow's dinner.
