Tigertail Beach Clean-Up Volunteers Greeted By Gorgeous Blue Herons

Last week, a beach clean-up event at Tigertail Beach brought out volunteers. The volunteers were greeted by a spectacular display of lagoon residents including great blue herons, white ibis, egrets, willets and ibis. Thanks to timing of the clean-up event, the low tide made it easier to wade into the lagoon to collect litter left behind by less thoughtful beach goers. It was also the perfect time to watch these beautiful creatures looking for food in the mudflats.

Volunteers found the beach pretty clean even though the last two quarterly clean-ups were cancelled. The September event was cancelled because of the hurricane, and the December clean-up event saw a rare downpour!

Tigertail Beach, a Collier County park, and fairly new. Just a decade ago, the gorgeous natural area was no more than an off-shore sandbar. The winds of Hurricane Wilma piled up the sand and connected it to the mainland. Now, it’s Collier County’s treasured secret beach connected to a quiet lagoon. The whole area is a nature-lover’s treasure.
