December 2013 - Everglades Florida

We decided to go to the Everglades and take an airboat ride through the swamps. No alligators were sighted but they like fresh water.

 Great blue heron

My new BFF waving to me - much smaller than Toronto raccoons but still looking for food. Their diet consists of just about anything - baby gators, birds, snails, fish or fruit, but their favorite is crayfish. They catch the food, and eat it near the water to wash it down. Their front paws are just like hands as they eat. They are excellent swimmers and occasionally are eaten by alligators.
