We don't just have baby birds here at the Refuge - we sometimes spot baby bobcats too! Did you know? Baby bobcats stick around their mother and travel with her when they are about three to five months old. Once they turn one, they begin hunting alone and become completely independent.
Thanks to Peg d'Entremont for this adorable photo!

#tbt to January of 2016 when we had an unlikely visitor to the island. This American Flamingo made a guest appearance in the waters of Sanibel. A common misconception is for people to call Roseate Spoonbills, Flamingos. Although they are the only two pink birds in North America they are different species. The spoonbills are relatively common on the refuge and the flamingo is a very rare sight. : Picture 1- Douglas Hommert / Picture 2- Bob Pelkey / Picture 3- @_gailcampbell_
