Everglades and Florida Wildlife
Posted: Sat Mar 08, 2025 4:05 pm
We made a trip to Florida in 2023 and thought might enjoy something from a warmer climate this late winter.
We made to the Everglades and to a couple of wildlife refuges on the East Coast.

Reddish Egret--These birds are fun to watch as they dance in the pond often with their wings spread trying to stir up creatures for their meal.

White Pelicans gorging on fish in an estuary. They were all gathered together constantly dipping and coming up with fish in their pouches.
