This grasshopper is called a "Lubber".

  • Lots of vultures - was an even mix of these with the Turkey Vultures I'm familiar with from home in Washington.
  • Does an alligator poop in the woods? Here is your answer.
  • Mommy alligator in her den - not many cool damp places left for them at the moment.
  • This grasshopper is called a "Lubber".
  • A cypress "knee". The tree's root system needs these for respiration when the soil is covered by water for long periods.
  • An orchid - some people are poaching rare orchids from the national park. We saw the scar on a tree where scumbags took one of the very few remaining plants of a particularly rare species.
  • This area would normally be submerged under a couple of feet of water - you can see the water line on the tree trunks. It's a rough year in the Everglades - local flora and fauna are struggling to survive until the rain comes.
  • Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake.
  • I wish I could remember what kind of hawk this was.
  • Wood Stork - these birds lower their landing gear very early.
