Everglades (wood stork to the right)
Just a few pics to show what we saw in the Everglades. It was very relaxing, warm weather and only a few mosquitoes. Great birding!

At a bird rehab place on the Keys, we found pelicans and cormorants waiting for a fish dinner...They were totally unafraid of humans. |

| Finally, at Shark Valley, we came across an unbelievable variety of
birds. Here, a Great Egret sits between a juvenile Black-crowned Night
Heron at the left and a Green Heron to the right. These were actually a small
part of an entire group, all near a gator. Wild.
