Beautiful birds and The Villages is the perfect place to look at them up close.

If you ever get the chance to go to Sanibel Island, go to the Ding Darling refuge and you will see all these birds plus roseate spoonbills, pink flamingos, and lots of others.
The roseate spoonbills played the eighth hole at Truman last year.

Since my golf game is for the birds, playing with the birds makes it worthtwhile.
