Our good ship, the Hondius. Remember that we only see the top 1/10th of the iceberg.

Egrets are common in the Everglades, but I never tire of photographing them in flight.

Anhingas are semi-aquatic birds that are as graceful in the air as they are underwater. Unlike some birds, they have no oils to keep their feathers dry, so after a swim they must dry out their wings or else they’ll struggle to take flight again.

The first sight that greeted us on our Coopertown Airboat ride through the Everglades was this Osprey digesting a recent meal and then regurgitating whatever disagreed with it.
