Got back last night, Stayed 2 nights in Naples exploring the Everglades. A total bust. Besides Ten Thousand Island bird sanctuary we hardly saw anything.
The only other thing that was almost good was Shark Valley in the Everglades. The Botanical Gardens was beautiful in Naples and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Ended up leaving Naples and driving up to the Circle B Ranch where we spent 2 days. Marsh Rabbit run was closed, but took some great bird shots that I didn't get to take last time there.
I'm going to upload to this thread as I go along. Also uploading to Flickr the full rez shots if anyone is interested.

Ten Thousand Island Bird Sanctuary. (Everglades)This is the only decent shot I got from this place. Black storm clouds were rolling in, and it got really dark. D750, with the 200-500mm at ISO 6400.

I wish I had known you were going to Shark Valley Pete. I would have met you there. I've been wanting to visit there.

You didn't miss much. A few gators, an egret, a green heron and that's it. I saw more in 1 hour at the Circle B (Shots coming tomorrow) then we did the whole time we were at SW and the rest of the Everglades combined.
Believe me, I wouldn't be putting up shots of wildflowers, and dragonflies if there were other things.:)

Circle B Bar. 3

Could someone ID these birds for me please. The last 2 are the same. I thought it was a juvenile Bald Eagle at first, but when she took off flying I noticed the yellow coloring under the wings. @Marilynne. @Kevin H or @richnmib
