This past week we explored many areas of Florida. From a Manatee, gators, and Anhinga (snake bird or water turkey) to an Eagle, more gators and birds at St. Mark's National Wildlife Refuge, to again MORE gators at the Everglades along with more birds.....
My first time seeing sweet manatees!!! I learned some great facts about these precious "sea cows.:
The Anhinga was showing off!
Do you see what I see????? Having a little sunny sun!
The eagle is one of my favorite birds! For the first time ever, I got to see one so close! It made my day. It was literally right by the road, enjoying its view!
Another precious friend at St. Mark's NWR.

The Everglades National Park was a nice experience! Hot as all get out, though.
