Friday Field Trip - Everglades National Park

Last week my son and the Hubster went to Florida, to the Everglades National Park. Jason was leading a photo safari, and Hubster went along to pick up some pointers. He's graciously agreed to share some of his pictures this week. The pictures come from Shark Valley and Anhinga Trail.

Friday Field Trip - More from the Everglades

Although it was nearly 70 degrees today, there are winter storm warnings for tomorrow and Saturday, with snow, whiteouts and temperatures down into the teens. I thought it might be a nice change to share some more of Jason's Everglades pictures, in case there are more folks stuck in the snow. My cousin reported being without power for 97 hours in New York.

Friday Field Trip: The Everglades

While we were traveling from Florida to Colorado, Jason was doing the reverse. Since I haven't had a chance to do much Colorado photography yet, I thought I'd share some of his wildlife pictures from his trip. I think you'll agree, he got some great shots.

This batch was taken in Everglades National Park. The critter to the right is an anhinga. Usually, you see them with their wings fanned out (they don't have oil glands, so they have to dry their wings after they dive for fish). This one seemed as interested in Jason as in getting dry Or maybe the bird just wanted some privacy.

These are only some of them. You'll have to keep coming back to see more. Or, you can visit his website and see all the different places he's been. Plus, he caught a great shot of an anhinga chowing down on a fish. I left it off this page in case there are those who prefer not to see the reality of life in the wild. But you can see it for yourself here.
