Gators Galore at Okefenoke N.W.R

Today we checked out Okefenoke National Wildlife Refuge and rented a canoe to explore a very small part of the swamp. Mostly what we saw were alligators- lots of them. But there was a fair number of white ibises, egrets and finally at the end of the day we were lucky to see a pair of sandhill cranes from the lookout area. We could not find any red-cockaded woodpeckers, but we did see a red belly, and a bunch of turkeys, 2 GBH (closeup) and what we think was a little blue heron.

  1. Sounds like a great trip! I have to disagree about the sweet tea, though.

    Great shots of the gators. Can't wait to hear all about it, hopefully sometime soon. We'll have to have a marathon photo slide show! Glad you are having a great trip.
