Florida and its “river of grass” is so different from any other place in the country. The foliage is lush, with low hanging branches, and exotic looking bushes wherever one looks. Nature’s plantings crowd in with one another, but the ground is boggy and one must take care in stepping, for water is everywhere. And the birds are so glorious—so large and colorful, easily seen even from the roadways, as they wade in shallow streams. They make any outing a birding experience, even for those who think they don’t care.
