Sanibel has been designated as a santuary island, where wildlife has been accorded special status.  The wildlife seems to know it:  the birds, reptiles and mammals seem to accept calmly the presence of human observers.  Those observers should always be alert for signs of unease or distress, and back off accordingly. (White Ibises will announce their displeasure with their "patented" glare, and/or a series of harsh calls.)
