Fort Lauderdale

Hibiscus along marina near Docker's.

Everglades - Anhinga

These birds dive - they stay under for a long time, once they emerge from the water they have to dry out their wings before they can fly. So it is dive, eat catch of the day, dry out the wings, fly to the next spot!

Everglades National Park

This part of the Everglades is very close to Florida City. Photos from
Royal Palm - Anhinga Trail, birds and alligators every where. If this alligator gets much bigger it will have to find different lodging.

Key West

Met Sponge Bob, he's a big guy.

Islamaroda Key - Pelicans

Outside the Bass Pro shop is a fish cleaning station on the dock. These beggars were waiting for handouts. Big brawls broke out over who got the fish guts. A couple of nurse sharks and tarpons were cruising the water, but they didn't stand a chance, the pelicans never let anything fall to the water.
