The Everglades is the 2nd largest national park, Yellowstone 1st. Shark Valley is on the northern edge of the park. It features a narrow paved trail that loops 15 miles into the Everglades. You can take a guided two hour tram ride or a do it yourself bicycle or walking tour. We took the tram but bicycling would be my preference, that way when you see something exciting you can stop and photo as you want, missed some good shots on the tram. After the tram trip we walked and did some backtracking on the trail. If you are in this area we can recommend spending a few hours here.

Great Blue Herron not concerned by a passing alligator
Couldn't get her to go any closer
Got down on my knees to take this picture, popped up quickly when he opened his eyes
Deer, Egrets and the larger bird with the dark head is the endangered Wood Stork
