Western Everglades

The western Everglades east of Naples include a tapestry of protected areas.  I pulled off Route 41 somewhere near the Fakatchee Strand to see the wildlife.


This is a wide angle view of the beautiful scenery.



Egrets flocked together but were skittish when they saw or heard me.  I googled and learned that a bunch of egrets is a congregation, an RSVP, a skewer or a wedge.  Seriously?  
Who would talk of an RSVP of egrets?

    RSVP as in Rising So Very Prettily, perhaps.

    Ha! If I learn nothing else today, I can thank you for giving me the RSVP of egrets!

    I think congregation is more fitting.

    The Everglades is such a precious ecosystem. Hope the boa constructors do not damage the balance. The egrets spend their summers in the Dakotas. They are beautiful, graceful birds.
