We hit all the birding hot spots plus a few stops as we made our way around the park. We found all of the usual wetland suspects plus one new find, the Mangrove Cuckoo. It is pretty cool looking and lives only here in southern-most Florida.
We spotted a little (3 foot long) crocodile in one of the ponds. He made a move on a Great Egret as we watched. Not a chance! With one flap of his wings the Egret just lifted out of reach. They both moved on like nothing happened.
