This year has been an especially good one for the birds and for those who enjoy watching them or photographing them.

The park is very busy with visitors interested in the birds nearly every morning for the first few hours of the day. Even though the early part of the day is the most active for the birds, all day of every day is busy with many different ones to see. It is especially good for the wading birds. Pam has become quite the expert on these interesting residents of the Everglades.
