Everglades National Park Snake Bight
Video taken at the end of the (nightmarish, mosquito-ridden) Snake Bight Trail at Everglades National Park on 10/28/2011, overlooking Snake Bight. Several waders argue over a fish that jumped onto land, at their feet, seconds before the video begins. Species visible include Great Egrets, White Ibis, Snowy Egret, Tricolored Herons and Roseate Spoonbills.

Everyday horrors @ Everglades National Park, FL, US
Some kind of Banded Water Snake (?) has caught a catfish, and it turns out to be quite a mouthful. It's freakin' cool! (Eventually our fellow snake swallowed the slimy scumbag, but unfortunately it wasn't caught on this videoclip.)

It's a snake, just not sure what type...
Young Florida Cottonmouth on the Road in Everglades National Park
While driving back out of the Everglades, I was keeping a keen eye on the road for snakes. We found one! This young Florida Cottonmouth Water Moccasin was basking beside the main park road on a warm 80F/27C evening in March.

Everglades National Park - The Anhinga Trail and Alligators Video (Everglades, Florida)
We decided to try and see some alligators (as we were in Florida afterall!), so it seemed the best place to visit was The Everglades and The Anhinga Trail seemed to have a good rep online! Needless to say, we saw a fair few gators on the way! They give you free vulture car-protecting tarps in the parking lot lol! Apparently they love rubber! Damn vultures, they'd eat anything!
The Everglades (or Pa-hay-okee) is a natural region of tropical wetlands in the southern portion of the U.S. state of Florida, comprising the southern half of a large drainage basin and part of the neotropic ecozone. The system begins near Orlando with the Kissimmee River, which discharges into the vast but shallow Lake Okeechobee. Water leaving the lake in the wet season forms a slow-moving river 60 miles (97 km) wide and over 100 miles (160 km) long, flowing southward across a limestone shelf to Florida Bay at the southern end of the state. The Everglades experience a wide range of weather patterns, from frequent flooding in the wet season to drought in the dry season. Writer Marjory Stoneman Douglas popularized the term River of Grass to describe the sawgrass marshes, part of a complex system of interdependent ecosystems that include cypress swamps, the estuarine mangrove forests of the Ten Thousand Islands, tropical hardwood hammocks, pine rockland, and the marine environment of Florida Bay.
Human habitation in the southern portion of the Florida peninsula dates to 15,000 years ago. Before European colonization, the region was dominated by the native Calusa and Tequesta tribes. With Spanish colonization, both tribes declined gradually during the following two centuries. The Seminole formed from mostly Creek people who had been warring to the North; they assimilated other peoples and created a new culture. After being forced from northern Florida into the Everglades during the Seminole Wars of the early 19th century, they adapted to the region and were able to resist removal by the United States Army.
Migrants to the region who wanted to develop plantations first proposed draining the Everglades in 1848, but no work of this type was attempted until 1882. Canals were constructed throughout the first half of the 20th century, and spurred the South Florida economy, prompting land development. In 1947, Congress formed the Central and Southern Florida Flood Control Project, which built 1,400 miles (2,300 km) of canals, levees, and water control devices. The Miami metropolitan area grew substantially at this time and Everglades water was diverted to cities. Portions of the Everglades were transformed into farmland, where the primary crop was sugarcane. Approximately 50 percent of the original Everglades has been developed as agricultural or urban areas.
Following this period of rapid development and environmental degradation, the ecosystem began to receive notable attention from conservation groups in the 1970s. Internationally, UNESCO and the Ramsar Convention designated the Everglades a Wetland Area of Global Importance. The construction of a large airport 6 miles (9.7 km) north of Everglades National Park was blocked when an environmental study found that it would severely damage the South Florida ecosystem. With heightened awareness and appreciation of the region, restoration began in the 1980s with the removal of a canal that had straightened the Kissimmee River. However, development and sustainability concerns have remained pertinent in the region. The deterioration of the Everglades, including poor water quality in Lake Okeechobee, was linked to the diminishing quality of life in South Florida's urban areas. In 2000 the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan was approved by Congress to combat these problems. To date, it is the most expensive and comprehensive environmental restoration attempt in history, but its implementation has faced political complications.

Python Cowboy catches 13' snake far out in Florida Everglades cypress swamp!
My first video we put together using some videos from last year. Much more to come! This is a video of a 13' female Burmese python I caught pretty far out in the Florida Everglades. This is an invasive species here in South Florida and it is up to me and a few other state contracted python hunters to manage the current population, giving our native wildlife a fighting chance. This python didnt put up much of a fight because she just recently ate and it was pretty cold that night. Thanks for watching yall!

Long Pine Key Trail, Everglades Nat'l Park
This trail starts near the Long Pine Key campground and is about 14 miles out and back. If you want to avoid snake encounters, stay on the path. A naturalist that I met on the trail once saw four venomous snakes within 20' of each other not far off the path.
