The birds you see walking in green pond scum, have it all over their feet. It seemed a lot of the animals ate it though and it surely looks very nutritious with all the phytonutrients!!! Such a lovely shade of chlorophyllic green! It just looks like it has to be a wonderful food source for all of them.
Stay tuned for pictures of turtles and alligators tomorrow night!

Wowee, thatsa lotta birds! Bring on the reptiles!
Nice blog makeover, too. Most of the time I get your posts through Google Reader, so I don't see your actual blog, but I need to come here to comment, and...whoa!
Cindy- LOL...I also have a spiders and webs set of photos for one day too from this same place as we were leaving they were on the bushes!!! I had to take pics for ya!!!
OK....waiting.....
I would skip the spiders (shudder) but I love the birds - what a great trip.
This sounds like a great place to visit! I like areas where you can observe the animals and such behaving in a more or less natural way.
Thanks for sharing!
What a fun excursion. I love seeing all the birds. You showed some of my FL faves. The anhinga drying its wings is so pretty and the Moorehen with its red shield on its face. I can't wait to see the turtles and alligators.
the green pond scum stuff is duckweed, the smallest flowering plant in the world. Both fish and waterfowl eat it, and it is a lovely green! I'm not sure of the species, but here is a wiki page which shows you the diversity of the family. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duckweed
Oh neat! Love ducks
very nice photos...looks like a neat
place to watch the birds.
Cherb- thanks for the information! The duckweed sure is beautiful to look at with such vivid green color!!!! I am going to check out the wiki page now!!! Thanks!!!
What a fun place! Great pictures!
