I have been able to make 2 trips to the Circle B Bar Reserve in Lakeland over the last two weeks and have a bunch of new photos to share. Unfortunately I missed the shot of a bobcat crossing in front of me. However, I have a bunch of really […]

Alligators in the Everglades
Alligators are definitely the iconic animal of Everglades National Park. They can be seen all throughout the Southeastern United States, but there are probably not many better places to see them than the Everglades or the Big Cypress Swamp which borders it. The easiest place to see them is Anhinga […]
Everglades National Park
A few more shots from Everglades National Park today. There is a good variety of photo opportunities including landscape, wildlife, etc. The one thing to be aware of is that the Everglades does not have the same kind of scenic vistas you expect from a lot of other national parks. […]
Everglades Wildlife
One of the most interesting things to me about the everglades is the variety of wildlife that can be seen there. South Florida and especially the Everglades is the only place that you can find both alligators and crocodiles living together. They don’t interact much though because alligators stick to […]
American Alligators at Circle B Bar
I spent the morning out at the Circle B Bar Reserve in Lakeland today. It is probably the best place near Tampa to see a lot of gators, including some big ones. I also saw a Wild Turkey, Bald Eagle, Sandhill Crane with colt, Limpkin with babies, 3 Barred Owls […]
Florida Water Snakes Mating
Over spring break we took a trip down to South Florida and hit several parks. The first stop was Fakahatchee Strand Preserve State Park. We did the Big Bend Boardwalk. We saw several gators, some wading birds, and a Bald Eagle. The highlight though (at least for me) was a […]
Slothful Saturday
I figured a Saturday would be a good day to throw up a couple of sloth pictures. These shots were taken about 25 feet from the door of our hotel at Nayara Resort in Costa Rica. I watched this guy climb up and down the tree over 2 days in […]
Highlands Hammock State Park 2
I wrote one post on this park not too long after returning from our trip their in December of last year. I still had several pics and just decided to post the whole bunch at once. We only camped for one night but saw a good amount of Florida wildlife […]
Birds and Monkeys
On our trip to Costa Rica we made a special detour down to the Osa Peninsula because of the wildlife viewing. We were not disappointed in this regard. We saw Scarlet Macaws, Parrots, Toucans, all 4 kinds of Monkey’s native to Costa Rica, a sloth, iguana, crocodiles and probably a […]
Sloths of Costa Rica
Sloths were one of the animals that we were really hoping to see during our tip to Costa Rica. We ended up seeing 5 different sloths I believe. There are two species of sloth in Costa Rica, Brown-throated 3 toed sloth and Hoffman’s 2 toed sloth. We got to see […]
