As a Cape Coral resident, on my nightly walks I love to stop and see how the owls are doing.  I’m happy to report that most of the owl nests are very active this year with many new babies popping out to say hello!  The way the Cape has grown these last 2 decades, I always worry that the owls will be pushed out, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.  I have seen them nest in medians, empty lots, front yards, drainage pipes and along the side of busy roads.  Sometimes there are multiple nests in one area; cousins perhaps?  I have counted as many as 5 new babies and a proud Papa & Mama in one nest!  Cape Coral residents seem to take pride in their Burrowing Owls and I’m very happy that they do.  If you see a nest, be sure to keep an eye out for any activity, but don’t get too close!  Looks like the owls are not a dying breed after all…

As a licensed insurance agent specializing in Medicare plans, I have often felt like a dying breed.  Folks certainly have an array of choices for getting their plan information and enrolling:  online, through the mail, Medicare.gov, toll-free numbers, etc.  But what about talking to an insurance agent face-to-face?  To me, nothing makes more sense than sitting down with a licensed agent for a free plan review.  This can be done when you are getting close to your 65th birthday, (3-6 months in advance is a good time frame) or when getting close to retirement when you are older than 65, or perhaps on an annual basis just to make sure that plan you chose is still working for you.  Did you know that it doesn’t cost anything for a review?  A good independent agent can give you an overview of the Medicare system and what your plan choices are as well as help you complete the appropriate paperwork and get it submitted to the insurance carriers.  Nothing like the piece of mind knowing that a true professional helped you with a very complicated procedure and answered all your questions.
