Fauna, part 2
There seems to be no end to the marvels of nature in this part of the world. Steve bought us a wonderful late-day eco tour: by catamaran through marshes and up and down the river. We mostly saw the usual suspects, but it was a delicious adventure.
An egret tree! And some lovely scenery.
The beaches have other animals, sadly no longer alive. Jellyfish are the most interesting. We've found moon and comb jellies, but the cannonball jelly is my favorite: what an odd creature!
Then there's the Alligator Farm, a combination tourist attraction/research center, which has both every kind of crocodilian in existence AND, more or less by accident, a rookery with all the storks, spoonbills, egrets and herons a girl could wish. But that's another story: Fauna, part 3.
