Jim, I live in WI but spend my winters at Marco Island, just south of Naples. I second the recommendations for Corkscrew, Loop Road and the Naples Botanical Gardens. Not mentioned is Shark Valley, the northern entrance to the Everglades National Park, and Tigertail Beach (Tigertail Lagoon) at Marco. Also, the zoo and Eagle Lakes park in Naples. Six-Mile Cypress Slough north toward Ft. Meyers is a spot I will visit again.

In my experience, Loop Road and Shark Valley will offer the best density of bird 'shooting' opportunities. Marco is home to hundreds of nesting Burrowing Owls and March into April is a good time to see them and their broods. Shark Valley has a 15 mile paved loop road and you can ride the tram, rent a bike or just walk around.

I you're interested, many of my Fla images can be seen on my Flickr site; and there are galleries of Burrowing Owls and Pelicans on my SmugMug site.

Last winter my wife and I tried snowbirding for the first time. We spent the winter using Scottsdale, Arizona, as a base and traveled extensively for purposes of photography. We both loved the state and would like to return next winter. In that my main interest is photography, I'm wondering what notable places we may have missed and whether there are a sufficient number of them to occupy our time in the months of February and March.
Any suggestions for photo opps from those more familiar with the state would be most appreciated. Following is a list of the places we visited and photographed last year.

Apache Trail, Sedona, Verde Valley Canyon Railroad trip, Monument Valley, Canyon De Chelly, Petrified Forest, Painted Desert, Horseshoe Bend, Upper & Lower Antelope Canyon, Sonoran Desert Museum, Desert Botanical Gardens, Jerome, Glen Canyon Dam, South Rim Grand Canyon.

North Rim of the GC if it is open. Worth the trip
