Nature Black point Wildlife Drive

A set of photos at Black Point of migrating birds to this area. A 7 mile raised dirt road makes for great viewing. The Coots was the largest flock of birds that I saw when I visited the area.

Not lacking any wildlife there. An excellent series of shots.

Thanks for viewing them. A lack of rain made the wetlands very dry. From my past visits there seemed to be a lot more types there.

Wow, terrific! For a minute you had me confused...we have a Black Point here, too, down in Homestead, near Biscayne National Park.

Terrific series. Looks like you folks have the same critters we do here in coastal Texas.

Dry season is the best time for viewing a lot of Everglades wildlife... the birds and animals congregate near the permanent water features. During wet season, they disperse.

Thanks for your comments and information. Changing the subject. I was at EFG Orchids recently and asked about the yellow Orchid you were wondering about. They said it was called Heather gold Cattleya.

You're welcome.

Well, Rlc. Heather's Gold is a hybrid registered by Hausermann's Orchids, and EFG has connections to Hausermann, so that makes sense. Thanks. Not, after all, Rlc. Malworth as I guessed, but similar breeding. Thank you!
