Here are some photos from our day hiking at Riserva Naturale dello Zingaro. Our hike took us along the west coast of Sicily in one of the few undeveloped areas on the island. The locals protested to keep a road from being constructed here and had the land designated a natural area ensuring that this part of the coast remains protected. The birding was terrific...we saw two very sought after birds in Sicily: Bonelli's Eagle and Lanner Falcon. The first two photos show how unpredictable the weather is in Sicily in March. We had to wait until a thunderstorm passed before we could enter the park, then had a blue sky for most of our hike, only to get caught in a hail storm on our way out!
