We spotted this Florida Black Bear on one of the old logging trails in Fakahatchee.

The Black Bears here do not hibernate like northern bears and can get big. The largest Florida Black Bear on record is 760 pounds!.

South Florida was once the domain of the Calusa, a powerful and complex society which prospered because of their knowledge of our bountiful estuaries and their ability to create technologies to help them survive. These Indigenous people thrived in southwest Florida, including Pineland, for over 1,500 years.
Grasping the concept of how long 1,500 years is can be difficult. Sometimes visuals help.
Here's a pie chart comparing the current "age" of the United States to 1500 years - the approximate amount of time the Calusa were thought to have occupied southwest Florida.

When the French were first exploring Florida, they brought along an accomplished artist by the name of Jacques La Moyone. La Moyone was to assist with mapmaking and documenting the new world of Florida for France He arrived at the mouth of the St. John’s river in 1564 with Rene Goulaine de Laudonnière, the founder of Fort Caroline on Florida’s East Coast.

La Moyone’s work is a peak into the world of the first people of Florida. He documented their customs, ceremonies, rituals, and even historic events during his travels through the state. My two favorite are the drawings depicting how the Florida natives harvested, alligator and deer. If you are a Florida historian, you will recognize his maps…..his other work is worth a closer look.

This is the elusive Sphinx Moth…. The pollinator for the equally as elusive Ghost Orchid.. considered one of the rarest orchids in the world. This guy decided to fly right into the window and pay us a visit!

If you’re not familiar with the ghost orchid, check out the book “ The Orchid Theif” by Susan Orlean….. and “Adaptation” with Nicolas Cage and Meryl Streep. Which was shot on location here in the Everglades.

We discovered this wounded alligator today. Its back left leg was reduced to a stump. I noticed other scarring around his head & neck… This was done by another (even larger) alligator!

The snowbirds are here in full force!!

These massive White Pelican migrate here each year from southern Canada and the Dakotas. They have the second largest wingspan only to the Condor, with the male White Pelican, reaching 9ft.

As the water levels drop the river otters return to Turner River here in the Big Cypress Preserve. They seem very curious with the kayaks, and sometimes follow us through the mangrove tunnels!!
