Reply #80: This is blasphemy, but the Everglades

Buggy, not scenic, very few birds. :(

"Flamingo" which is on the map as a small town looks like a bomb hit it.

You can't really hike around because the mosquitos are in swarming mobs. (And yes, we did Snake Bight and it was a nightmare).

These are the birds we saw in the main part of the park in three days: Great White Heron, White Ibis, Wood Stork, Great Egret, Snowy Egret, Pine Warbler, Cardinal, Red-bellied Woodpecker, Snail Kite, Semipalmated Plover, and Wilson's Plover.

I was expecting a big mossy swamp, but no. All the trees are pinner and growing in shitty little clumps.



Sanibel and the Keys beat the crap out of the 'glades hands down.
