Our trip to SW Florida / by Darryl Konter

Our friend Debbie posed the question in January: once we we all vaccinated against COVID-19, would we consider coming down to SW Florida for a visit in early March? The answer was, “YES!!”

We were so thankful to have gotten the shots even before we left. But hitting the road and visiting with a dear friend we hadn’t seen in over a year intensified our gratitude a hundred-fold. It felt so normal, and at the same time, so exciting. We hope it’s only a few more months before all of us can have that feeling.

We visited several of our favorite birding spots, and explored a few new ones, as well. I’ve picked my favorite pictures from our four days there for you to enjoy here.
