You will have to be careful, I usually am down in the Florida Keys during
around May or June, I find the seas to be calmest then. If you go during
other times you run the risks of high seas and those house boats just are
not too fun. Especially trying to take photos. I know some days can get hot,
and usually when there is a high weather condition it can get hot, but the
Bay and Ocean are like glass and bill fish are in, reefs are fun, etc etc,
if the seas are rough, it aint no fun.

We're wanting to take Mom on a trip to Florida bay for some
birdwatching fun.

Any help is greatly appreciated,

John,

Do a little research on the J. N. Ding Darling wildlife preserve on
Sanibel Island. It's just off Ft. Myers on Florda's west coast.
It's a driving tour through about 6,000 acres of mangrove marsh.
There is a road atop a dyke that is used to help in mosquito control.
It's a big hit wth the bird watching crowd. I certainly enjoyed it.
Just another option, good luck.
