Petey, the flamingo made it out into the Everglades with this crew. What a fun day seeing lots of alligators on the wildlife drive, soft shelled turtle, woodstorks, and herons. This family thought ahead and brought some bevies for after the airboat ride!
Here are a couple of great photos taken by one of our fantastic guides, Dwight a.k.a Gator D. He also keeps an online blog of all his adventures at www.gatord.blogspot.com 
Lots of great birding in the Everglades with ibis, woodstorks, night herons, anhingas, egrets, and herons. Here are a couple photos of a juvenile black crowned night heron and a juvenile white ibis.
The wildlife has been abundant in the Everglades. We have been spotting lots of alligators and birds. Flocks of herons, ibis, and egrets roosting in the cypress. We have also been spotting night herons, anhingas, white pelicans, and woodstorks. On a recent wildlife drive there was a panther on the path! What a rare thrill that was as these cats can be elusive.
We spotted this venemous cottonmouth while on a recent nature walk on the full day tour. We definitely kept our distance and stayed on the elevated boardwalk!
Temperatures are beginning to cool down a little in the Everglades and the wildlife has been abundant! While out in the Big Cypress we spotted this large alligator sunning himself. He must’ve known we were watching.
One of our many fun adventurous families- the Gremillions! What a pleasure they were to have out us for the day. The kids were very brave and held not only alligators, but also 50 lb. albino pythons!
