Back to the mainland from the keys. This Anhinga was spotted on her nest on the Anhinga Trail at Royal Palms in the Everglades. Anhingas are such odd looking birds, it is such a treat to see them in their everyday life. 5/5/22 www.sparhawkphotography.com
Another type of wildlife that frequents the keys is the iguana. In parks, in mangroves, in the cemetery, you never knew when they would pop up. This was one that climbed up the palm tree in a local park. 5/4/22
This little cutie is one of the Key Deer that live on the Florida Keys. The are the smallest subspecies of the White-tailed Deer found across much of North America. The does like this measure about 26 inches at the shoulder; they are delicate and very cute. At one point they roamed most of the keys, but today are mostly found on Long Pine Key to Bahia Honda Key. They are the largest herbivores on the keys. This one, and two others, were spotted on No-Name Key. 5/3/22 www.sparhawkphotography.com
