(Rostrhamus sociabilis) The snail kite is a locally endangered species in the Florida Everglades, with a population of less than 400 breeding pairs. Research has demonstrated that water-level control in the Everglades is depleting the population of apple snails which is their main diet. Their slender curved bill is ideal for winkling apple snails out of their shells!

Purple Gallinule (Porphyrio martinicus) Everglades National Park Florida, USA
A beautifully colored bird of southern and tropical wetlands, the Purple Gallinule can be see walking on top of floating vegetation or clambering through dense shrubs. Its extremely long toes help it walk on lily pads without sinking. (Copied from Cornell Lab of Ornithology).

I spent a couple of days in Everglades National Park this week and was able to meet up with Paul Marcellini. Paul knows the Everglades like the back of his hand and was kind enough to show me around. We lucked out at at sunrise with some nice fog and mist. Comps were hard to come by but I came up with this one while trying take advantage of that color. Thanks in advance for any comments/critiques. Also, take a minute to check out Paul's Flickr page to see his awesome Everglades collection:

Kastensee
Die Einheimischen nennen ihn Kastensee, eigentlich heißt er aber voll ausgeschrieben Kastenseeoner See. Der Moorsee liegt bei Glonn im Südosten von München. Er liegt im Naturschutzgebiet des Kastenseeoner Moores (auch „Schwingmoor“) und hat eine Wasserfläche von sieben Hektar. Der Kastenseeoner See entstammt einer eisigen Vergangenheit: Er ist Teil der „Toteiskessellandschaft Kastenseeon“, einem Überbleibsel aus der Eiszeit. Das Verlandungsmoor am Westufer ist mit seiner einzigartigen Pflanzenwelt ökologisch besonders wertvoll. Das Betreten des Moores ist verboten – aber ein Rundweg führt ziemlich nah an die Landschaft heran.

Captured this image of a Green Heron in the Florida Everglades. They are usually seen in the underbrush making it difficult to achieve separation.

This is another one from the vault. This is from a Florida trip a few years back in the Everglades National Park. I was actually setting up the camera to shoot this location not even knowing the alligator was there. Once I saw him there was no time for a tripod, he was swimming right into my frame. So this is a quick handheld image.
We had to get off the beaten path to find one of these guys in nature, but we ended up finally finding several. We kept our distance to respect their habitat, oh, and because they have those massive teeth. There is always that.

We are some 30km up the Noosa River from the sea in the Noosa Everglades in the Sunshine Coast in Queensland.
The Everglades represent an ancient waterway of some 60km that has existed unchanged for thousands of years.
At this point, the river narrows and is slow moving and immensely dense with tea-trees which thrive on the wetland and tropical conditions here.
Their tannins darken the water causing a heavy mirror effect whereby its sometmes tricky to see the water line.
The Noosa Everglades is a wetland of international importance and part of the Noosa Biosphere, Queensland's first UNESCO
Biosphere incorporating four National Parks encompasses 150,000 hectares (circa 570 square miles) with an extensive
diversity eco-systems, culture, flora and fauna.
