Audubon Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary

 

This is the sunset view from our campsite in the Everglades at Monument Lake State Park.

This is the 12 foot gator we saw driving to our campsite.

We saw a blue heron at Corkscrew Swamp. We met a couple of my cousin's friends who are birders. This morning they did the 2.5 mile boardwalk loop and got a great view of an American bittern. The bittern wasn't there when we were they. We did see gators and a raccoon and this blue heron.

Another view from Monument Lake campsite.

This is not a great picture but it was cool to see a painted bunting at the bird feeder.

I have only been to Maplewood State Park once before. The time of the year was autumn and we thought we could snag a campsite. Wrong. Despit...
