Long time island band, The Trouble Starters, played for a small, gracious crowd.  As I breathed the salty air, with the gigantic moon over the bay, and the sound of water slapping against the docks, I thought how lucky I was to be on Captiva that night.  They play randomly at Jensen’s, so if you have the opportunity to hear them, don’t miss it!  Click below for more pictures.

Sanibel Bird watching takes on a new twist

Outdoor Activities, Sanibel

Look who I met today! Norman, the female parrot. She was named before she was gendered. Norman is 20 years young and is seen all over the islands with her favorite friend, owner Les. Les insisted that she and I meet with our famous branding “pink and green”. She didn’t have to dress for the occasion. She is a real natural with a huge vocabulary.  This beautiful Yellow Naped Amazon can be seen doing her daily errands around the island. If you run into her and Les, tell them we said “HELLO” bwaackk…
