Thank you, Marsh Beast Airboat Tours! Inland Alligator/birdwatching in Vero Beach FL (4K/60fps)
A brief clip that might make you a little queasy, but being on the actual boat ride isn't that way at all, much more fun than scary. This clip seems to be a good test of 4K/60fps video, shot on my iPhone X, uploaded to PC via USB, then to YouTube as-is, unedited, unaltered HEVC aka H.265.

Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge Florida
The birds of Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge Florida. Near the Atlantic coastal community of Sebastian, Florida, lays a little island in the Indian River Lagoon, a dot on the map really but with a very large international footprint. This is Pelican Island, and its surrounding 5400+ acres of protected waters and lands, are known as the Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge.
With a history that symbolizes our nation’s dedication to her cherished lands, the Refuge holds the distinction of being our nation’s first national wildlife Refuge. The Refuge has provided a natural home for fish and wildlife, while proudly serving as the ambassador for the development of the National Wildlife Refuge System. Through the creation of 563 refuges throughout the nation since its designation in 1903, Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge has stood as a testament to our nation’s commitment to the conservation of natural lands.
Ocean To Lake Hiking Trail pt 1
I participated in the annual Ocean to Lake Trail hike hosted by the Loxahatchee chapter of the Florida Trail Association. The hike spans southeastern Florida from Lake Okeehobee to Hobe Sound Beach and is approximately 63 miles long. It was an unusually hot 80+ degree February. This is a notoriously wet hike, but we were lucky with many dry sections. The deepest water I encountered was only knee deep. The trail meanders through several wildlife management areas, pine forests, cypress strands, canal banks, county and state parks. The Loxahatchee chapter has done an amazing job with maintaining such a difficult trail.
