At more than 2,400 square miles, The "Big" refers to the extent of swamp, slash pine, mixed hardwood hammocks (tree islands) prairies, cypress and marshes. This subtropical wilderness is also home to unknown dangers including snakes, spiders an occasional bear and even panthers. It is also a birders paradise. We walked two trails (one in the Fakahatchee Strand Preserve and the other in the Ten Thousand Island National Wildlife Refuge)seeing several alligators and large numbers of Ibis, Egrets, Spoonbills, Herons and the list goes on and on. All of these sit next to the Everglades National Park. I had a great time and loved every minute!
