Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary - Part 3

The final images  from Corkscrew Swamp


A Little Blue Heron



Another Anhinga drying out



We came to a pond with a mother alligator and at least twenty baby alligators.





Another young alligator nearby



A frog hanging out near the boardwalk



Another Red-bellied woodpecker nest




Limpkin



Black-crowned Night Heron



We noticed these two young alligators on a log.



Then an Anhinga decided it wanted this spot and started to poke at one of the alligators.


Then it poked more insistently.



This got the gator quite agitated.



The gator finally gave up and relocated behind the other gator.



Yet another dragonfly



We were lucky to glimpse a couple of River Otters.



This tree appeared to be trying to eat the boardwalk railing.



A green Anole



More pretty flowers

  1. I had never heard of a "limpkin"! A fascinating sanctuary population, for sure!
