Long before the developers brought highways, the railroad, hotels, attractions, and housing to South Florida it was much like the Everglades. In recent years, there has been a movement to mitigate the over-development damage and return Florida to its original state. There are few better examples of this than Palm Beach County's Wakodahatchee Wetlands near Delray Beach. Most of the photos in this blog posting were taken at Wakodahatchee early December 2010.
Over 140 species of wildlife live on this site that has been given back to nature.
A double-crested Cormorant in flight.
A Pied-billed Grebe.
An American Coot taking off.
A Great Blue Heron in flight!
The Great Blue returns with twigs to build nest.
Large alligator has captured a large turtle.
Nature has its cruel side, too!
Wakodahatchee's paparazzi run to scene of crime!
The alligator rules this swamp!
The little Grebe swims over to take a look.
Peace and tranquility returns!
