    Nice shots Mark! I was wondering if you post some gators, yep, you sure did!! Now, did you have to take one of those boats to go out? I would be careful about those darn gators!!

    Dang right I took an airboat! Good operator too, he was slow and really looked for wildlife, not just a speed trip (although I'd like to try that too). He really knew his stuff too) We didnt get far into the glades in the 45 min ride but it was far enough to know that i could be lost in 10 seconds. I'd love to try it in my canoe, guided of course.

    hi mark, was that your first time in the glades?? there great aren't they. I'm lucky enough to live here and have them year round. what company did you use for the airboats.
    Some men see things as they are an say "Why?"
    I dream things that never were and say
    "Why Not?"

    Good captures Mark and the mystery bird is a tri-colored heron.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Thanks Harry! Next question same bird... Is it immature or always fuzzy, and are the white things in his head feathers or background clutter?
