Twenty-three birders joined me yesterday for the TAS trip to Everglades National Park. Stops were made at Coe Visitor Center, Anhinga and Gumbo Limbo Trails, Gate 13 restoration area, Long Pine Key picnic area, Pa-hay-okee overlook, Mahogany Hammock, Paurotis Pond, West Lake and the Flamingo area. By day’s end we had tallied 76 different bird species, including this Sandhill Crane, seen along the road to Mahogany Hammock. Other wildlife seen in the park included American Alligator, American Crocodile and West Indian Manatee.
