Happy Saturday Everyone!
This morning we have a Pied-Billed Grebe in non-breeding plumage. The Pied-Billed Grebe’s loud vocalization makes it sound very similar to the Yellow-Billed Cuckoo, despite their wildly different behaviors and habitats. Pied-Billed Grebes very rarely fly – when in danger, they actually dive up to 20 feet underwater. Have a great weekend everyone!

Happy Thursday Everyone!
This morning we revisit the Everglades with a picture of an American Crocodile. Contrary to popular belief, the American Crocodile is not very aggressive and attacks from them are rare. It is like any other animal, when it feels threatened it will attack. Reasonable precautions and distance keep us in harmony with this and many other species that share our living space.

Happy Monday Everyone!
This morning we have a Wood Stork (Mycteria americana) that was photographed in Florida. The wood stork was declared to be a threatened species by the US Fish and Wildlife Service on June 26, 2014. Every time that a species becomes threatened or endangered, it should be seen as a call to action on the part of the person that looks back at you in the mirror. We all need to do our part to protect the Earth that we share with millions of other species.

Happy Thursday! Today we have a black vulture from Everglades National Park in Florida. Everglades National Park is the largest subtropical wilderness in the United States and is home to many endangered and rare species, the most well-known being the Florida Panther, American Crocodile, and Manatees. The Everglades are a World Heritage Site, Wetland of International Importance, International Biosphere Reserve, and is protected under the Cartagena Treaty. Have a great day everyone!
