Sunday, March 4, 2012

Paul's parents are renting a condo in Florida for two months this winter and so we went down to join them for a few days.

Today we took the Coach Safari which allowed us to see a lot of wildlife even though the temperatures were a bit cool and windy for the animals (67*F but sunny).  We saw lots of alligators, mostly female alligators with their pod of many baby alligators.  Here are a few pictures:



How many baby alligators can you find?

We also saw many birds:


Great Blue Heron 
Great White Egret

Turkeys

Vulture

Bald Eagle

Sandhill Cranes
Anhinga
An interesting bird was the cattle egret which follows cattle around and eats the bugs that are stirred up while the cow is grazing.


The turtles were also neat.  We saw a soft shelled one along with some hard shelled ones like cooters.
