Another of our favorite wildlife drives is through the J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge on Sanibel Island along the west coast of Florida.
One of our favorite wading birds to watch is the Reddish Egret. While some varieties of herons stay perfectly still waiting for prey to come near to them, Reddish Egrets tend to chase around to catch their prey. They can be quite entertaining while they are "dancing" around moving their legs, necks and wings, sometimes a jump or two thrown in.
