Wildlife in the Everglades

December 10th, 2009

The wildlife has been abundant in the Everglades. We have been spotting lots of alligators and birds. Flocks of herons, ibis, and egrets roosting in the cypress. We have also been spotting night herons, anhingas, white pelicans, and woodstorks. On a recent wildlife drive there was a panther on the path! What a rare thrill that was as these cats can be elusive.017

IMG_0486Temperatures are beginning to cool down a little in the Everglades and the wildlife has been abundant! While out in the Big Cypress we spotted this large alligator sunning himself. He must’ve known we were watching.

Everglades fun!

IMG_0449One of our many fun adventurous families- the Gremillions! What a pleasure they were to have out us for the day. The kids were very brave and held not only alligators, but also 50 lb. albino pythons!IMG_0392

Summer Day in the Everglades!

August 19th, 2009

063Had a beautiful day in the Everglades. On the nature walk, we encountered a female alligator watching closely over her nest, and boy was she ornery! Her clutch should be hatching soon. Everyone enjoyed the alligator exhibit where they had the chance to hold an alligator.

I think the alligator was even smiling for pictures! Also had a great time on the airboat ride through the river of grass. On the ride we were up-close and personal with at least three alligators, saw a red-shouldered hawk, and a bit further on we got to see the remnants of an Indian hunting shack which is now home to a few baby gators. Another exciting Everglades Adventure.
