Two-Years Ago (01-January-2018) — Florida

Gone to See Florida 2017/2018 Road Trip. Day 12: Big Cypress National Preserve. Clyde Butcher’s Retreat.

Prior to starting the drive back home, I got images of birds in a tree above the pond outside of Clyde Butcher’s Big Cypress Gallery. A Great Egret, and a Palm Warbler.
