Florida Everglades

This is just a sampling of the many species we enjoyed watching on our recent trip through the everglades. The burrowing owls were a treat to enjoy enroute via Cape Coral which is renowned for their countless burrows within city limits. Local sources informed us that there were 1600 burrows marked and maintained by a small and dedicated team of volunteers. That's just the ones they know about. Enjoy!

Bob's definite favourite this trip was the Anhinga. Their snake-like ability to catch fish under water was mesmerizing. Once caught, the fish had to be carefully turned around so that the body went down head first ... regardless of the size. Check out Bob's blog in the near future for some not-so-nice captures of this rather bizzare event. 

Cormorants so close that you could touch them ... also so close that they could easily poop on you if you were not careful.

Regardless of what Henrik might think :) ... the Great Blue Heron is still a sight to behold.
