There were several Muscovy ducks living near

When they met Kevin, they kept coming over to
visit, looking for a treat.

Kevin called these two Shirley and Bravey.

We visited Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, home to
wood storks, wading birds of all types, panthers,
bears, deer, and alligators.

The boardwalk stretched over two miles through
five different environments, including swamps.

A pileated woodpecker greeted us as soon as we
arrived.

Several black vultures were nearby.

Looks like a downy woodpecker.

everyone to take a picture.
